I think you meant upper arm! between the Bicep and where it joins the shoulder, in that "hollow" is where you want to put one of those curved steel buttplates.

I have a .50 cal. that I left the barrel in the white, it really doesn't take that long to get a nice patina, I rubbed mine down with oil and a bit of fouling from the barrel after shooting at the range. It maybe took 3 years or so to get a nice dark grey patina.

Luckily I'm down here in South Al. :grin: But 10 years in Atl. Ga. taught me somewhat about cold weather, nothing what you guys up there get tho!.

Some kind of frost blanket from Lowes, it "only" got down to 34 degrees Sunday night, really Monday morning around 2am.

"Frost" blanket didn't work :( Lost all my squash, leaves "Frost burnt black" flat to the ground :shake: .

Roundball has not made a post since July :confused: I wonder if he is still with us.

My younger brother shaves with a straight razor and he got me to thinking about trying it, He is coming down for Thanksgiving and is going to give me some pointers on how to shave and how put an edge on one.

I picked up a nice H.C. Wentworth&Sons Straight Razor today at a gun show ($40.00), has a nice sharp edge on it, He had a Robinson Shuredge, but wanted $200.00 bucks for it. My Question is how good is it?. So far what I've read indicates its a good razor (The H..C Wentworth that is.

Its gonna get COLD down here Sunday or Monday night!! Might even get down to Freezing Temps! :surrender: :grin: I'll probably be picking a couple or 3 heads of Broccoli next week, and I will have to put a "Frost Blanket" over my crooked necked squash I have growing. They have 3 or 4 blooms on them.

Very Nice! :thumbsup: It looks like a Horn some Southern guy might have carried with his squirrel rifle.

Imagine the hours and hours (Months? Years? it took to clean and restore some of those items! :shocked2: .

I would starve to death if I didn't have my 6 slices of bacon, 2 scrambled eggs and a tall glass of Olavltine every morning. That's winter food, summer food is cereal and milk (about 4 bowls). Btw, you have to put in about 4 heaping scoops of Ovaltine to make it taste good.

I believe it also depends on how big you are, long and tall with long arms? or short statued with short arms, also how is the back doing? To me all these things come into play, what is your best LOP?. This will determine what kind of balance you will have with a long barrel. I have a 12 1/2 LOP...

I think I would be installing a ventliner myself, it would probably help with velocity and penetration.

I have some Broccoli growing right now, Have 4 heads out of 8 plants so far, but its still too hot down here, 80 degrees down here today! :blah: .

That's a monster! :thumbsup: Any plans for the horns? looks like you could get a few powder measures from him.

Welcome to the Forum! You must have the Swamp Monster like we do down here in the swamps of South Al. among other unnamed and unknown creatures!. You DO NOT camp out unarmed down here! :grin:

Well, what kind of powder are you using over there?.

I would have gotten a smooth bore myself if I went to that caliber (20 gauge). That way I could shoot shot (squirrels and rabbits) and use a ball for deer or hogs. A 120 grns. would put me on the ground looking for where my shoulder went to! :surrender: . :2

I wish it was all that simple, good shooting sir! that will be some tender eating, Venison stew with taters, carrots, and some onions with a nice gravy to sop up with bread or some cat head biscuits! yum, yum!.
