Yep! Good job.

Great fun, Sparkplug! Enjoyed the camaraderie. Can't wait till next one.

I know, I was just being a smart alec... Didn't go over very well, did it...

Me either, GSML. Now, starving to death in an apocalypse situation I'd shoot spitballs at 'em if that's all I had.... ETA: Uh-oh, just saw Loyalist Dave's post. Is a spitball too modern? I promise I won't mention them again.

Yeah, .307 is good. Those I got from TOW are just too large @ .329

GregK can you measure the dia of it for me? Thanks.

Agree Cruiser. I think also wood economy. Smaller pieces cheaper/easier, less culling, than the long skinny blanks.

First sub-.50 ml. Buying needed possibles. Which jags do you guys use for your .36 rifles? Do you have an optimal diameter you suggest? I bought the TOW .36 brass jags and they measure .329" diameter; a little too tight with the thick common cotton patches. OK with the thin synthetic Hoppe's...

I would like to see estimates on how many of those have been produced. A bazillion? I recently sold my Kentucky to a kid. I'm hanging on to my SDI Shenandoah.

Article on tightening up and lowering pull on the Trad KY single trigger: LINK

My set trigger was gritty, so I replaced the roll pins with dowel pins, polished everything, and it really smoothed things out.

Yes, but there are things you can do to tighten it up. But, if you have the option, get the deluxe with the set triggers. I think it also comes with the upgraded lock with the bridle on the tumbler. I may be wrong about that, I know my Shenandoah has the bridle.

The Spanish know how to produce an accurate barrel, that's for sure. They all tend to be lasers. My SDI Shenandoah version, with the one-piece stock and set triggers, is a pretty cool gun, I don't care what anybody says.

Deer aren't hard to kill. Legend is some dude killed one with an ice pick. For prb's I keep it .50 and above for all of reasons already pointed out.

I had to put taller rear on my Woodsrunner. It shot a foot low with the short sight. There would be no front sight left if I had filed it to the needed height.

P.S. off topic, but I used to travel to your neck of the woods often, and always loved to hit it during the fruit harvest. Oh, man, tree-ripened Ellensburg apples and Naches and Yakima cherries and apricots, de-lish. I usually made myself sick from eating so much fruit LOL.

I saw some on the shelf recently at a little shop way out in the middle of nowhere, a LONG way from you, for sure : Link to Tucker's Now, whether he'll do mail order or not, I cannot say...

Thanks, Duk. I have a work day tomorrow at my property, and I'll take some time to scout around some more, maybe take a shot if the opportunity arises. 85 miles distant. I don't have confidence, though. It's rugged 78 acre Appalachian terrain, and I haven't scouted over every part of it, but...

Agree 100%. I'm going to take your advice and give it a refurb.

Squirrel Rifle Update #4 Tried & True is mostly hardened. Got a time window, so I went to the range today and sighted her in. Front and rear sight centered in the top barrel flat is right on - amazing to me! It shot about an inch low and I filed the front down to get it in the bullseye - didn't...
