    SOLD "New" Tip Curtis Lancaster 50 cal

    That's one of Tips later rifles where he focused on clean rifles without carving or patch boxes. From memory it should be a GM swamped barrel at 1:60 twist, Chambers lock and Davis triggers, but I have had a tough day currently with a headache and could be wrong on the lock and triggers; my...

    I wished I knew and had more money as that is about what I want to buy. Nice area there also...figure letting the grass grow a little and stock it with quail, put out 10 acres of corn, fruit trees and a big garden and I would prolly never leave.

    Staking/Pegging a site?

    I've heard of a method where a small divot was drilled onto the bottom of the sight, fluxed then filled with a touch of solder and filed smooth when cooled, then reinstalled to the barrel. Once finish sighting-in was conducted a quick heating by a torch to the sight base the solder melts and...

    New to me Lowell Haarer Bear Pistol - Just in time for Deer season!

    Yes Jim is quite busy expanding the business including new designs, it is my hope he adds another offering to this nature, additionally, a bear pistol would compliment his SMR quite well.

    New to me Lowell Haarer Bear Pistol - Just in time for Deer season!

    I would love to see someone put a kit together for a bear pistol. I have planned on building one for some time. Maybe Chambers it Kibler will take that task on.

    Tip Curtis Rifles

    We're hoping Tippy (his son) takes over. I'll ride over to his shop this weekend and see. I had wanted to pick up one of his Bean creations but, just never got one off the rack. I had asked him last year to build one for me, Tip built what he wanted and very seldom took orders, any one who...
