    It's a Spanish CVA barrel. The ticking is .016 after I washed it and the wife ran it through the drier. I could go back to to Michael's with the mic.

    FFg Goex. I'm trying to get things a little bit closer together before I start changing lubes too much. And thinking about it a tiny, It does look like it would be the rifling cutting the patches rather than burn through.

    Hey, everybody. Stumbled here while trying to figure out what to do with the bulged 45 Jukar Kentucky I bought. I've got the jacked Jukar (which is becoming a pistol, by the way), and two 50 Hawkens.

    Do you mean County (38) or town (39)? I pulled a buck tag for GMU 38. Now I gotta see if I can get the wife an OTC doe tag, too.
