Believe it or not Crown Royal Peach with lemonade is a great summer drink. 
If you are looking for a sipping whisky I enjoy JP Wisers 18 yo blended if you can find it.

My uncle had a DeLorean. Always loved going over to his house and greeting to ride in it.

Ok. I probably should have taken better (more) photos.  This is the rifle I got when my buddy Bjon got the one above.  It’s also a Winchester 1894 but from 1907 chambered in 38-55. I cleaned up and re-did the oil finish on the wood. This was the dirtiest rifle I have picked up yet. It made me wonder if it had been cleaned in the last 50+ years. I had to get oil in it just to get it to cycle. I did a complete tear down, cleaning and such. The rust was removed from the metal parts were for the most part and then cold blued. I picked up an old Lyman peep sight for this one. 

 

 

Nice job.  I bet that will shoot great.

I had to look it up.  July of 2013 so almost 11 years.

I think I bought your .458 Socom back in 2013.  Good to see you around again.

Saw a lot of great concerts at Starwood. The Run DMC / Beastie Boys was a great concert. 
Before it closed my BiL and I took our kids to see Brittny Spears there.

My latest Lever. 
 

Marlin 1893 Chambered in 38-55 made in 1900. Started out for me as a barreled receiver with the lever, bolt, hammer and loading gate included. There was no stock, no forend, no mag tube(or components), no rear sight, not forend cap or tenon. Additionally, the listing said the hammer would not lock back.
 

The case color hardening was all but gone from the receiver (one small spot left on the inside of the lower tang plate) but the bluing on the 26” octagonal barrel still looks very good. 

The first thing was to figure that out  turned out to be a rusted trigger spring  l was having trouble finding one for an 1893  I took a chance on a trigger spring from an early 1897 (precursor to the 39a). It worked and the first issue was fixed  

I found the mag tube (and inner parts), rear sight, forend cap, forend tenon. Picked up a reproduction stock and forend set made of American Black Walnut.

I had to finish the inletting for the tang and forend and I had to do the final shaping and apply a hand rubbed oil finish. That took a while. I finally have it all done. The stock I found was a “carbine” style. Not an issue I thought. I like them. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that finding a Marlin 1893 Carbine butt plate was a kin to finding hen’s teeth. I do still need one and that is why there is a recoil pad on the rifle, hiding the missing butt plate.

Here is a photo. If I can figure out the photo hosting site Kahrman suggested, I’ll put ip a bunch of photos of the process. 

 

The stock turned out nice.

She's a beaut, Clark.

Since a year-ish wait seems to be the norm, might as well customize it. I'm tempted to get the barrel cut for 49/64x20 threads to run a Bowers Vers 50 can since they'd probably both arrive about the same time.

I saw a video the BHA put out recently of  a suppressed 500 mag Spike Driver and it was awesome.

You mean something like this….

 

my BHA Spikedriver in 500 S&W Mag. 
it is a pleasure to shoot. Recoil is pretty mild and it’s accurate. My only issue is it took 14 months to get it after ai ordered it.

I have been where you are. No way around it, it just sucks. My friends death still bothers me today. Such a waste of a life. Sorry you are having to go through so much lately.
