    In the 50's - 60's I remember on several occasions family members (1 time my mother in her nightgown in the morning returning from driving me to high school with charts) running out of gas. Walking to the gas station and paying $5.00 refundable deposit for a rectangular sheetmetal 1 gallon can...

    I can't believe that people are putting gasoline in plastic grocery bags. Saw on the news one guy filled up a bag and then tied it "real tight" . That should keep it!

    So, that is about $7,200. One would be able to use the action/barrel for economical practice and gain experience with the trigger. How does overall weight with shotgun compare with rifle? I would think less. It would be convenient. You could shoot over 2,000 rounds of reloaded rifle ammo instead.

    "Euthanize" is a medical term applied to mercy killing, applied to alleviate pain & suffering, hopefully as a better condition for the patient. "Kill" or "killing" is done to the second entity by and for the benefit of the first entity. Intent. This is language. In animal control situations...

    Interarms Mark X 30-06 conversion project

    Totaling the cost of rifle, chambering, action/bolt work, scope, bases, rings, working up or finding factory loads, the price of a new quality barrel @ $325-350 is a small increase of cost vs.the savings of reboring old barrel. New barrel most likely will yield better accuracy and guaranteed...

    What makes a good hunting partner?

    Safe. Good sense of humor. The Golden Rule, as it relates to shared values, shared labor and team effort in the field and in camp. Sometimes, we all may need personal time and space away from the group, an individual or activity.

    Back when I was in the Olympic Peninsula, WA...... we stopped for a break from cutting/splitting Western Red Cedar shake bolts and heard the drumming of a Blue/Sitka grouse.

    Where do I start for building a 9.3 Ruger?

    I have read on the reliable interweb: The military is transitioning to a 6.8mm. Bids have gone out for ammunition and build specs. Ammo mfgs. have submitted different versions. Most likely, will then become a mainstream cartridge.

    I'll probably have to give up on this idea

    Reading your OP my feelings were neutral.....until I saw the photos! Those renditions are really nice. It is a shame about the fading. I had a friend that used a flex shaft with dental burs to carve scenes into antler. The bud, with the crown around it, made a nice half dollar sized piece. Maybe...

    How do you reload 1 caliber 3 different rifles, same recipe

    Try Hammer bullets as they are not sensitive to jump distance. Barnes are supposed to be adaptive as well. If these monos do not work you may be sol with this endeavour.
