    Patience is a virtue! I finally fired up my fully rebuilt '46 Chevy Fleetmaster yesterday after a 2+ year effort. I was delayed by a wee health problem for a few months and then delays in getting...

    The big problem hunting inland on the island used to be the risk of getting lost and walking around in circles, fortunately less of a problem these days when you carry a GPS device. The interior is a...

    40mm liked post by gundoc On thread : Who has built a heavy duty cast bullet trap ?

    Skirch liked post by gundoc On thread : Making a Rolling block rifle on my lathe.
    I have to admire your tenacity! That is lot of work without a milling slide, buggerizing around with packers and a dial gauge before you can make a cut! It just goes to show what can be done on a...

    Ranger 888 liked post by gundoc On thread : JW15 piece of shit
    The JW15's are generally a solid bit of kit, sturdily made and shoot quite well, but the difference in individual rifles is in the quality of hand fitting and finishing which can vary from good to...

    It is a card wad to keep the sticks of cordite in place during the balance of the loading process. The .303 cartridges were loaded in a very unique way because the strands of cordite can't be poured...

    I normally carry two knives when hunting, both well over 30 years old and still going strong. One is my 5.5" S&W Outdoorsman which is a large, heavy drop-point that is good for skinning, legging,...
