    Arbitrary Hunting Goals

    No, not really. Back in 1971 I set a goal to shoot an elk before the Army got me after Christmas. I did kill a dandy but that goal nearly cost me my life. When I go to Africa there's sometimes critters on "the list" but I will shoot whatever turns up and I can afford. Last trip was a...

    Ebonizing Walnut

    Well ... that is different. Looks like it's ready to jump out of a Hudson coupe and rob a bank someplace in rural Iowa. 🙂

    Gettysburg

    As I recall Antietum had the highest casualty/acre/hour. The boys must have been standing knee deep in bodies. I recently finished reading "24 Hours at Waterloo." An incredible book. That battle lasted only about eight hours. The devastation and brutality is really unbelievable. Almost...

    I did follow the instructions that came with the scope. That was the problem. Bushnell acknowledged the mistake in their illustration. But of course you knew that.

    My dad, my brother, and I "built" our family home back in 1965. No, we didn't mill the lumber or make our own plumbing pipes or glass for the windows. We put the parts together into a domicile. Concrete to framing to finish carpentry to wiring to plumbing to roofing. Some stuff was necessary...

    Can you put fish in a pie?

    Tuna casserole with a crust. Doesn't sound half bad.

    I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. However, I'm fairly certain you don't either. My personal opinion: I would never pay someone to put a rifle action on a synthetic stock. About the same skill level as changing the brake pads on a truck. The point is, doing the work yourself is not...

    I have lived through a few generations so I feel somewhat qualified to make some generalizations. And you are free to disagree. I'm sure you've got seventy years of observation to support your generalizations.

    Yo You assume jewelers are born not made. I built this stock truck literally from the ground up and it served me well through fifteen years of hard service until I moved to Canada and got rid of my livestock. Building a rifle may be a bit challenging but it's not watchmaking. You don't...

    I don't doubt I could make a stock if I put my mind to it. The first stock I put on the rifle was only semi finished. I found this stock accidentally online looking for components. Deal was too good to pass. Took a lot of work to make a stock fitted for a commercial action to work with a...

    No. I bought it used. This was apparently a commercial Mauser stock. Had to modify my military Brno vz.24 action and the stock to make them mate. I also added the crossbolts and a 3/16" steel rod lengthwise through the stock's wrist for reinforcement.

    Perhaps. Personally, I never accepted limitations. My observation is the current generation, my daughter included (especially), finds excuses to live in a slot. I never could. My life almost slipped away too many times, starting with one cold October night on a mountain at the age of...

    Ebonizing Walnut

    You should be able to do it with a slider chop saw. Make a jig to mount the stock on and then clamp it to the fence on chop saw. The jig is simply a piece of 3/4" plywood cut true on a table saw. Then draw a line exactly down the center of the board end to end. Use long wood screws through...

    I do my own work. You should think about it. Have someone make the barrel and put it on. You can do the rest, especially if just looking at a synthetic stock. It's not rocket science. 404 Jeffery I built on Brno vz.24 (8mm 98 Mauser).

    Tell me about your obscure cartridge

    Edit: Just upgraded the stock to a used commercial one with fancy wood and checkering. Also added a new 1-4x scope and lower base. Slimmer commercial stock required modifying the action screws and magazine box. I added reinforcement to handle 404's heavy recoil: two crossbolts and steel rod...

    Mauser Caliber Ideas

    Just finished upgrading my 404 Jeffery project with a used commercial stock I bought on line, a new 1-4x 30mm scope, and lower one-piece base. To beef up the stock for 404's heavy recoil I added croosbolts and a steel reinforcement rod through the wrist. The military action and Timney trigger...

    Favorite beverages

    Coke Zero for me. No calories, no alcohol, plenty of caffeine, and it doesn't taste half bad. Not half good either. It's wet with no aftertaste. Good enough.
