I have never tried a S/A with a Bisley grip. For some reason to me they just do not look right, but looking closer the angle seems more like a S&W double action, which is the revolver I prefer. I have two S/A guns, a Ruger Super Blackhawk, that I am not real crazy about shooting, and then a...- jkingrph

It's really more an AR 15 type sight with an adjustable post, not a fixed blade, but it is the Tech Sight, but it looks the part.- jkingrph

Thanks Deacon, Getting that M1 Garand sight fitted into a base was a pain but worth it. As far as the fun part, that will probably have to wait a couple of months for weather to cool down, it's just too darned hot down here to do any shooting.- jkingrph

Yes, that was a relief as I did not want more unused holes in the receiver. Even if they were hidden I would know that they were there.- jkingrph

I got it to the 'smith. He pulled the rail off and we discovered it was built on a 1933 Mexican Mauser action. He is ordering and installing a Timney featherweight trigger, and the hole spacing that was d/t'd for the rail looks standard and measured good for a two piece mount. I was debating...- jkingrph

Went to a small local gunshow and made a trade. I came home with a semi custom Mauser sporter in 7x57. It has an E R Shaw barrel, a fancy piece of black walnut with rosewood fore end and pistol grip tips. Two probably minor problems. The trigger pull is not what I like , an old military two...- jkingrph

Smooth without a doubt, much like the old Krag rifles. The last Krag I saw at a gunshow looked rather perfect and a price almost too good. It felt like a slight crack in the receiver, the dealer said it was not but I passed on it. I would love one of the full stocked small caliber...- jkingrph

Cast iron
Somewhere we acquired a small cast aluminum pan, works great. They tend to conduct heat better than cast iron and heat more evenly. My wife complains about the weight of cast iron, and if I could find a bunch of cast aluminum pans of similar size and configuration I would get them and retire...- jkingrph

I currently have three, one a Mannlicher stocked model, the other a rather deluxe stainless model I built up over the years, fancy Fajen stock, 24" Green mountain barrel, the last a stainless model with a underfold stock that will fit in a small space. All three have Kidd triggers in TI CNC...- jkingrph

Still shooting my K 22 and K 38. I have had both for 50 years now and will someday pass them on to son or grandson. I just got the bug and have parts coming in over the next week or so to build a Ruger 10/22 in M 1 carbine form. I got the stock in yesterday via ebay and hit the wood lottery...- jkingrph

Cast iron
I took a Lodge that was rather rough and went at it with an orbital sander. Those little nubs of cast iron sticking up ate sanding disks like nothing. I probably went through 12-15, starting with coarser,80 grit and ending up with something very fine. I then washed and reseasoned and it is...- jkingrph

Cast iron
I did not particularly care for new, just wanted smooth. Most of the new stuff out there is rather rough. I did take one large Lodge skillet and smooth the bottom considerably with an orbital sander. At the rate it was going it would have taken hours to knock all those little casting knobs...- jkingrph

Cast iron
I have a newer 10 1/2" skillet by a company called stargazer. They claim it's lighter, although you couldn't prove that by me. I don't know what process they use, but the interior is ground absolutely smooth, so nothing sticks. They offer seasoned and unseasoned, $88 and 80 respectively...- jkingrph
