    Need Advice, Looking for a Checkerer

    I took the advice of an earlier poster (sort of) and jumped into a checkering group on facebook. I scanned some of the posts and commented on one that I admired and asked if they were looking for work. They agreed and I mailed stock off. I have to say, they really did an amazing job and right on...

    A Death Of Ethics: Is “Hunting” Destroying Itself?

    I feel like everyone has their own personal ethics when it comes to these things. I personally think even animals we try to manage, cull, or eradicate deserve our best try at giving them a clean death that offers them the respect that all nature deserves. Someone above said that nature is cruel...

    Need Advice, Looking for a Checkerer

    Hello all, I’m working on restocking an old 30-06 and got the stock shape right where I want it to be, but I still need to checker the gun. I have no skills in checkering and wouldn’t want to do a lousy job. Buying the tools would be a bad investment as I would rather pay someone who knows...

    When to Hold Em and When to Fold Em

    I mean, if you NEED the money, sell it. Don’t let your things control your decisions. If you don’t need the money and get satisfaction from owning a rare rifle, then keep it. Hobbies change in your lifetime. You may come back to this gun at another phase of your life. A lot of people regret...

    Disaster strikes! Step 4: Like I said, I get two shots at this before I need to buy more wood. In shaping the forend of the stock, I gave myself very little real estate for the wooden dowels. The inside of the Boyd’s stock has a deep channel to accommodate the free floated barrel and...

    Trails and misadventures of making and ebony tip

    Step 3.5 In my prior post, i mentioned that Boyd’s puts in a foreward swivel screw wether you like it or not. Worse off, it’s coutersunk for the bezel of the the swivel. AZDAVE mentioned that a walnut plug would work, and that’s exactly what I did. I knew I wanted to put on an Orange...

    Fell in love with a working girl

    Willing to bet sleeved. I have an old army navy that was sleeved and re-proofed as well.

    Fell in love with a working girl

    As much as Army & Navy don‘t carry the name value as Holland and Holland and the other London shops, they are still worth a very pretty penny. They also usually come with expertly crafted Birmingham actions and are also well stocked. There is also a lot of romance to the Army & Navies as these...

    Part 1- In every hobby, among all groups, there are those with experience and good fortune that have earned the right to call things easy. They give their knowing smirks, cock their eyebrows and let out that “oh shucks” chuckle to voice their amusement, slight disapproval, and above all, to...

    Long time guest, first time member!

    Hello Everyone! I have been a long time lurker on the site for a few years now but have finally made my own account and would like to say hello. A common story in here, I grew up hunting in the United States (mostly upland wing-shooting) and am now thinking seriously about my first trip to...
