Cookin' some pork!
Wednesday evening I took a butchering class. We cut up half a pig and got to take home chunks of it. I got most of the skin (let there be cracklin's ! And home made lard!) If you've got a freezer and a butchering saw it's a great way to buy your meat. I may have to do this more often.- Oldsarge

Shoot, you go to your local big box hardware store and ask someone for a grommet kit. It will include the punch (pliers grip) and a selection of grommets. What you need to be careful of is spacing. Measure very precisely with a soft pencil before putting the grommets in. Otherwise it will...- Oldsarge

Oh, I'm long past that! Now it's "Is there any way, no matter how unlikely, I can justify buying that? No? Eh, I'm getting it anyway.":p- Oldsarge

I've got a 6.5 Swede. Fabulous caliber. I don't know how soon I'll go deer hunting again but when I do that's what I'm carrying.- Oldsarge

I owned one once but it was so small and short stocked that I couldn't get comfortable with it. Perhaps it was a lady's gun or a youth's. I've got more than the arsenal I can imagine using but if a full sized M/S came in sight I'd probably grab it. As you say, the butter smooth action is...- Oldsarge

Oh, come on now. The 8x57 is fully the equal of the '06 for game shooting and .318 bullets aren't that hard do find. And since there isn't a hard core of elite collectors to dictate what your gun should be, a rebore or even a rebarrel to something more common (7x57 or 9.3x62 would be terrific)...- Oldsarge

If I was going to commission a custom I'd go with the .338 /06 but since you already have the Whelen, good on yer! There is much to be said for bullet weight and frontal area in a game cartridge. O'Connor won the writing awards but Keith is more my choice in cartridges. Anything bigger than a...- Oldsarge

That's another great thing about the old M98 action. They come apart so easily for cleaning, scrub up nicely and then pop right back together ready to go. To my mind there simply isn't anything to compare with them. It may be easier to build something to shoot the wings off flies with using a...- Oldsarge

Hmmm, site won't let me edit. I wonder why. Anyway, "honor" of Jack O'Connor is what it should read. I was an elementary school teacher, you know.- Oldsarge

I'm a great fan of using brass rod for putting things together. It planes and sands just as well as wood and shines most attractively under a good oil finish. Well chosen, that man. And once you have that gem all back together you need to take it to Arizona for Coues whitetail hunting in...- Oldsarge

She needs another 5/16" increase in LOP and her chokes opened up for birds over dogs but other than that I love her.- Oldsarge

I hardly ever buy a new gun anymore. The old ones are just so much more appealing. I can hardly wait for the next one to arrive, a side lever, hammered 16 ga. It will need a bit of extension with a leather covered butt pad and I doubt that I'll want to see the F/F choking. Sk 1&2 seems ever...- Oldsarge

If you wander down the aisle in the grocery store labeled "cleaning supplies" you ought to come across a product called Murphy's Wood Oil. It's a cleaner especially designed to take grunge off wood. I used it to clean the cabinets in my old house before putting it on the market and am about to...- Oldsarge
