  1. Rust blueing,

     

    4 tablespoons salt

    8 ounces peroxide

    8 ounces white vineger

     

    Mix warm so the salt will blend, degrease the barrel with something.. Rubbing alchehol is what I used. Dampen a paper towel in the solution and apply in long single strokes. It will rust, when it gets an even fine coat of rust put it into a pan (trough) of boiling distilled or rain water. It will turn black. Rub the excess black off with a paper towel and repeat. 6 or 7 times till it won't rust much anymore. Worked for me, and cost me nothing but time. Don't touch the metal with your fingers you don't want the oil getting on the gun during the process.

     

    I linseed oiled the barrel to seal it after it blued the way I wanted, it really does get a deep black-blue. Also on the final rub down before the linseed oil I used 4X steel wool instead of the paper towel.

  2. I know we like to keep teeth, but for instance in my family we end up just getting teeth pulled or filled. My dad had one front teeth pulled a couple years ago. You get used to the gap. Or you could look into ObamaCare, does it cover dental? :rofl:

  3. My brother was the M249 gunner for his squad (Engineers), he said he had his weapon setup with a forward pistol grip on a single point sling so he could shoulder it. He said the officers looked at him kinda funny when he did carry it that way but they didn't stop him.

  4. Here in TN you are not allowed to marry your sister either.......not sure that's an advantage or disadvantage on your list. :wave:   Welcome to TN.

     

     

    Actually I have found that not to be the case.. The inbreds thrive in certain parts of this state just like they do in the yankee north. :up:

  5. Well I like Tennessee alright, I lived here when I was younger. I moved here because I love my wife, she is from Chattanooga. And here is where I'll make my stand. So live or die I'm here. I just always have looked at laws and regulations from a Constitutional perspective whether I lived here or in Alabama, and to my mind all of the gun and knife laws we have here or there are totally unconstitutional.

  6. When I moved up here from Alabama my CCW wouldn't transfer and when I checked into it I was surprised about all the fees. In Alabama its $15 to the local Sherriffs Dept. They run a background, they don't fingerprint; and if they have questions about your history they set you down and ask.

     

    I joked that TN is just one step behind GA for fascist. But you know what, being here about 2 years now I am fully committed to working with the legislature of this state, I am a Tennessean now.

  7. The stag was drilled to accept the tang of the blade, the tang goes about half the length of the handle. It is cemented and the pin was a bit offset to drive it up tight. The butt cap is purely for look and feel, more to round the handle out than anything. I actually made the handle first, then I fit the blade to it.

  8. I forged the blade a little while ago and ran across it last week in a box. The blade hold an edge but nowhere near something like 5160 or 1095 even.  Heat treat went like this:

     

    3 times normalized

    quenched in motor oil, no dice

    quenched in water, worked

    I did a very light temper at 375 for a bit.

     

    It'll work for a use knife.

     

    More of a practice in fit and finish, really.

  9. I just recently made a new belt knife, I know I have never posted my hand forged stuff on here before so here goes.

     

    I forged the blade from a tire crank off a truck, you know like you crank your spare down with.  I did almost all the finish work by hand (files, stones, and sandpaper). I added some cherry wood to the butt to round it out so it fits the hand better. Its glued and pinned on with bamboo.
