Winter has set in. Good time to take inventory and think about new builds.

I haven't got these back, and I'm already wanting to build another... Of course, part of the problem is the time of year. We've got about 24" of standing snow, and it's cold, so I'm stuck inside mostly. I went through the gun cabinet yesterday, bore snaked and wiped everything down. That...

ChrisG, One is definitely getting an ebony fore end tip, and now I'm on the fence for the reasons you mentioned. I wanted one of them to look more nostalgic, but I agree, I don't think there will be enough contrast to achieve the proper look. I'm not doing the work myself. I have an awesome...

This looked like the right place to post this. Probably won't see this on any of the big News programs, but I appreciated his current state of mind. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11527307/Ex-Navy-SEAL-transitioned-male-female-says-hes-transitioning-BACK.html

Get better man!

It's been a while since I've posted/updated on these. Got them back from the "Smith" a few weeks ago. It was a very fast turn around. Barrels fitted, sights installed, Timney Triggers, re-profiled trigger guards, bolt handles re-shaped, safeties converted to 2 position side throw, and...

Layers are your friend. Cool/cold morning and evening, nice in the day. If it rains, expect gooey, sticky, miserable mud. I'd bring a rod and some lures. Don't take up much space, and so long as it hasn't rained and blown everything out, you'll be good. I'm hoping the rain holds off till...

Sestoppelman, Have you seen the log deck at the old plywood mill? Went past there about 3 weeks ago, it was massive!

Heck, if you forget anything, and remember it on the drive out, hit me up, I may be able to assist.

I'm just a bit west of Kamiah. Just went through that area a few weeks ago trout fishing. Really pretty, rugged country. The nights are getting cool, and it's getting dark around 1900. You're probably going to pass through Pierce, stop at Ms Lilly's for a buger, or Chubby's Pizza if you're...

So, I have the exact same rifle. Mine is Circa 1986. It's been a proven workhorse, and shot stuff across the continent. As for accuracy, check the fit of the barrel to the stock. Mine had a slight rub, and once I cleaned it up, it was even better. I also shoot/prefer 140 gr Hornady. I...

I'm not a fan of him, but Clinton 42 lost the codes - gave them to a staffer I believe, until there was an inventory..... I also recall under the same administration, picking up a Navy Commander, (and giving him a ride to the AF1), who had been left at his hotel - carrying the football, while...

My vote, 284 WIN if it will fit.

Joe, I didn't say what you're function was, I said why you were hired. Seen it too many times with GO/FO. Maybe you're different, but I'm sure the Defense Contractor paid you well to run their unit. Yes, the services do have creep in their requirements, But maybe if the original request...

Red Leg, You opened the door... Things I have personally witnessed: DoD projects that run over budget and under performance. Projects and programs that are not wanted by anyone, other than the "Good Idea Fairies". Equipment decisions for both US troops and Security and Cooperation programs...

Hey Rook, I use the same lump hardwood/mesquite charcoal. I use an electric charcoal starter instead of the chimneys. They run about $20.00, and I replace them about every 2 years. Maybe worth a try??

WG 455, Sorry to hear about your loss and situation. Going to be really honest, and it may sting - sorry. What qualifications other than school might you have? And if I read this correctly, you've lived at home all/most of this time, and you're 31-ish? 1st, totally agree with Carson above...

I should have posted this earlier. Conducted a couple of transactions with CM McKenzie. He's a professional, and his work was better than expected. Pleasure to do business with.

Well, Since the OP was about counterfeit LR's, I suppose posting a Lexus is/was appropriate. It can be a "re-badged" anything, still isn't a Defender. I'm willing to bet you'd trade all that posh for a proper older Defender 110. Why, because it's a LR Defender. Period. Same reason why...

300TDI is the best engine. Next is the TD5. I have had 200TDI's, and they don't compare. Wow, 125K!!! Dang!!! Maybe I should sell some of mine! If you're looking for a 90, I have a friend who is bringing one over. LHD, in really good shape. He may want to sell as he also just picked up a 110.

I've got some .410 rubber/riot shells. Use them on nuisance cows. Seems to remove them from the property, without anything more than psychological injury. Maybe load a couple of them, and possibly a slug, just in case he decides to close the distance? (depending if you have a .410, and the...

Hahahaha! I drove mine to work occasionally. I always left the keys in her. I'd leave a note on the windscreen asking the last driver to let me know where he parked her, so I could find her and drive her home at day's end. Of course, I cou;d have simply have followed the oil drips to her...

Jags and Landy's. Tremendous vehicles, if you can live with\fix their faults. Otherwise, have deep pockets, and pay for the repairs.

So, I have Canadian friends, and have heard the silliness that abounds. What I don't know, is if anything can be done to stop this? Legislators, PM's, represneaitives? I'm just not smart enough on Canada Politics, but I find it hard to believe the PM can "recommend" something, and it's...

"Lucas, prince of Darkness"!!

My 90 Pulling out a Stump 2 years ago

Beauty!!!

Depends on what you want. Diesel and Torques are better than HP and Gas for getting through stuff. Do you want it because it's "Cool or Vogue", or are you actually going to use it? If you can't find/afford an old landy, look at early body styles you like. Cummins id making a drop in engine...

Sorry Mate, Have to disagree. Everything else is a copy of the Land Rover. Every Jeep owner buys a Jeep because they couldn't afford a Landy! As for Lexus, wasn't even a blink in the eye of LR. You want a "Chelsea Tractor" buy a Rangie, otherwise keep the Asian stuff for tuners and kids...

I had a "Masterbuilt" smoker for a while. When it worked good, it was pretty flawless, but when the digital control unit started acting wonky, had to place close attention to it. We do up big batches, and as someone else mentioned, stuff them in the vacuum seal bags, and put to rest in the...

Hahaha! I'll bring 2 dogs, and a wide blade knife, so the "slivers" are a bit more hearty!

Yup, You do it because you want to. To bring an old rifle back to life and use. I'm in the process of doing two of them right now. A full build, with stock will probably run in the $2K area, depending on who does it and what you chose to put into it. You'll have a classic, personal rifle...

Dang! As always CM, Great looking stuff!

Hahahahaaha! Visited there years ago. Overpriced IMO, but decent. Drinking Frey Ranch out of Nevada tonite. Understand in UT that options are sometimes limited.

An Antigonos, Every try any if the High West Stuff out of Park City? Not my favorite, but it's decent,

So, American "Whiskey" is different than the post origination. For Whisky, Mcallan can't be beat. 2ND is Glenmorangie, and it's very close. Try the Frey Ranch out of Nevada, or the new Willett Straight Rye. Both really good.

Look up CMKckenzie or CBeck here in the AH network. Both make great leather goods. I know there's others as well, but these guy's are stateside. Don't know if they want the work or not. But that's where I'd start.

Tounge in cheek rules of a "Gunfight", but a lot can be applied to hunting, especially Dangerous Game... I've seen a lot of posts so far where people say they don't carry a sidearm. It's a personal choice, and rules/regulations come into play. I don't care what caliber/make/model is your...

As good a write up as any Safari! Thank you sir!

Looks like a great time Kevin! Love the collection of Landies!!!

Carry. Agree with most of the posts above,, for the same reasons. Never know what you may run into, or need to finish dispatching an animal. I heard somewhere from a Game Warden years ago that their jobs were considered high threat, due to the fact almost everyone they encounter is armed...

Impressive Von!!!!

Oh Great, the start of the next Pandemic.....

Sounds like a solid plan. Did you get a chance to contact my stock guy? Sounds like you sorted it out locally?

Hmmm, Shot placement?!? Perhaps the "subject" posed as aggressive and warranted shots?

I'm with the crowd that say's 35 Whelen. Someone send a picture to Bob!

Yup, can be a pain, and some of the German one's were/are dang near impossible to de-fuze. If I recall, you have to turn two mechanisms in different directions, at the same time. Whenever possible, best to blast in place, but that's dependent on what's next door...

:) I'm keeping the calibers a secret, as mentioned, but I am enjoying the suggestions. Since I own a 280REM, I probably wouldn't go 280AI, nothing wrong with it, and honestly not sure which is "better" - relative term obviously. I've got several 24-26" rifles, so want these to be light...

If you are in the area, visit the Menin Gate (Ypres) at 2000 hrs. They do a last post (Taps) at that time. Get there earlier. It's only a short ceremony, and I believe it's been conducted every night since WWI, except during German occupation. But it's tasteful and proper. The history that...

Vertigo, Not sure if it was the West Vieteren Abbey, but it was trappist, and I recall they made beer until the well ran dry in the summer months, and it was limited to"locals" only. I did find that the Belgiums would literally makle a beer out of anything that grows, even thistles!!!! All...
