That was Monday. Any news?

The Doc is out now.

One of the members has TDM’s address, so he sent him a letter to inquire about his status.

Waiting for whatever results come from that, but snail mail isn’t what it used to be. The snails got slower.

Nothing really exciting, but, I ordered a can of mink oil from TOTW…. One of these days I’m gonna take a ride there. Three hour trip though one way…….

Tinkered with my flat priming horn today.
I got the plug fitted into the small end today.
Tomorrow I'll turn a pour spout and get it fitted.

That's downright cool. I have some ebony and I'm thinking to do something like that with it. Got a pretty good sized piece if you want to try some.

Went out with the Woodsrunner to shoot target #2 of the NMLRA Postal Shoot. As usual, didn't do so hot. I think I will have to move to a bigger ball with the patches I have. Was using a .530 ball and .015 patches. I have some .535's which I will be pulling out to try again and see if I can do any better. I'm basically Minute of Deer, but I want to do better.
Also, it was hot out there. (making my excuses now)

The Doc is out now.

Yesterday I came home with two lead roofing boots and some scrap lead from fitting new boots! My brother started a roofing company in our area and I am supervising the sub crews so I can claim the lead boots!!

 

[Hatchet-Jack]

Worked on shaping the stock

 

[deerstalkert]

got tired of scraping on the walnut Kentucky and stained it. then hung all the pieces and parts on it. next will be a finish and sights.
when i mount this rifle it falls perfectly onto my bicep with my eye seeing the full length of the barrel.
thinking of keeping this one and sending the Colonel something else!

 

[RobertIN]

Checked out a Doc Hopkins mountain rifle. I liked it a lot, but need more information/advice.
