Stripping it down. This is the stock crack. Im very tempted to attempt to fix it and refinish just to see if I can make it look right. As was mentioned earlier if i screw it up I can buy a new stock for under $100

This will be the first gun Ive done in a long time. And the first one where I actually have enough disposable income to be able to do it right and not cut every corner.

Will trade any/all for .30-30 or .45-70 ammo. Face to face knoxville area meet up 86 rounds of 12 gauge. Some 00 buck, 4 buck, 6 game loads and 1 box 8 shot. Sold 75 rounds 9mm. 50 blazer brass FMJ and 25 Critical Defense. Sold 33 rounds of .45 Colt. 13 critical defense, 13 300 grain HSM bear loads, 7 Cci shotshells. $25 15 rounds of 16 gauge game load. Free to anyone who needs it. 62 rounds Remington .40 cal fmj $25 20 rounds - 20 gauge #5 shot. Spoken for

Just picked this one up off armslist tonight. Gonna make it into a nice brush gun hopefully. The stock has a 6" crack running forward from the butt plate and the bluing is starting to pop like most of the post 64 models. Plans are to either pin and refinish the stock along with the forearm or buy new and fit as necessary. Cerakote in Socom blue or whatever gets me the closest look to bluing from 5' since these models do not take bluing well. Add a Williams FP peep sight and a brass front blade. Shoot and enjoy.

Want to buy some .30-30 deer loads. 1 box or several doesn't matter. Im not picky about what load as long as itll do the job on white tail and coyote. Ive had zero luck with finding anything local to Knoxville. Id like to stay within an hour of Knoxville, I live in Roane County and work in Loudon if it makes it easier to meet. Thanks

Stetson Stratoliner everyday. I wore my last fur felt hat, a 40s vintage Bonner Pehlps until it fell apart. I bought this one in silverbelly. Reshaped the crown and brim myself, then added in a handcut grosgrain ribbon. Did all the mods to get what I wanted without spending a fortune. I wear it all day most days unless im working on something greasy that would ruin it.

Using white table sugar, corn, mollases or any other edible sugar source can be turned into high proof alcohol suitable for drinking, disinfectant, small engine fuel, fire starter etc. The exact same still setup can be used to distill water for purification, distill essential oils, etc. Its a worthwhile skill to learn and the entry cost for a small, sub 10 gallon still with all the parts needed is usually less than $500. Just something to consider to help your preps.

Is that a 24" barreled 94?

Awesome video. It's amazing when you realize that the bowie knife has went from a large butcher knife to a weapon as detailed and specialized as any bladed weapon on the planet. I do love my bowies, that is for sure.

This is what I wanna do. I wanna do 4 clips down the front and 4 down each side with the sides cut out and tightened up at the same time. The guy next to me has his done down the front Sent from behind the anvil

I talked to Biker rags today when I was there. They didn't have any ideas other than possibly the lady who does patch sewing at the swap meets. I'll bring it with me when we come over, hopefully soon. Just don't wanna crowd you with you feeling bad. I think I could punch and install my own eyelets if I had to, I just need a good clean stitch up the sides after cutting so it doesn't separate and fray out. I'll text George a d see what he says. I'll text GjohnsonIV on here and talk to him. A shoe repair might also be good for that. Thank you Sent from behind the anvil

I wear a vest for motorcycle riding and I would like to have it modified. I want to cut a 4" section out of each side and add eyelets and either lacing or double sided snaps. That way I can tighten it up for a better fit. It's currently a little loose for my taste The problem is its a set of club colors so I can't drop them off and leave them. Does anyone know somebody who can cut it, sew the side seams back closed, and punch in eyelets while I wait? Thanks in advance for recommendations Sent from behind the anvil

Yeah I've never understood having anything that is display only. Some things may not be practical but being usable and surviving hard use is a must Sent from behind the anvil

Thanks for the compliments guys. I do believe this piece is gonna stay in my possession, since I have very few of my own things and I love the way it looks and feels Sent from behind the anvil

Being a well rounded individual is gonna be important. I'm a blacksmith, wood worker, logger, ASE mechanic, helicopter mechanic and motorcycle mechanic, and a martial artist. I'm also a draft horse farmer, shooter and I can butcher most game and livestock. The more basic homestead skills you have the better Sent from behind the anvil

After helping out my dad yesterday I had some free time to get in to the forge. So I tapped my inner Viking for this build. The runes are Thurisaz for defense and destruction, Uruz for speed and strength, and Tiwaz for honor and leadership. Handle is 29" of seasoned oak. Mild steel body and 5160 bit. The blade is 3" wide, and the head is 7" from back of eye to the edge of the bit. It will shave hair pretty easily after splitting 4 pieces of seasoned oak firewood. I'm damn proud of this one.

I have to cancel this weekend due to a personal issue. I will reschedule as soon as possible. Thanks Jordan Sent from behind the anvil

There are men left, you are just looking in the wrong place. I served side by side with many of them in the Marines Corps. They exist in all branches of the military, and still exist in the blue collar world of manual labor, both skilled and unskilled. Though the numbers dwindle, the men are still out there. As for the hero above, I had heard his story before and all I can say is that some men just refuse to die. Sent from behind the anvil
