Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff

Bushfire, Thank you for the additional information. Heavy hearted about your hunting companion and friend. There are no adequate words. The large bore Manton should do well. In the past I attended two of the NMLRA (National Muzzleloading Rifle Association) shoots at their ranges in Friendship, IN. I...

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff

Bunch of additional questions; Are you shooting a patched round ball or specialty slug like a REAL Bullet. Were your hunts in NZ or Australia? Are both stags red deer and how close were they when you...

Re: Schatt & Morgan mismatched grinds

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff

This is not related to the preceding Mystery Firearm Posts. I took this photo today and just wanted to share it and mention Smith and Wesson revolvers. All I’ve had time with were nicely made and accurate. This fairly recent rimfire example has been no exception. Back in 1975 I was fortunate to tour...

Re: The Amateur Astronomy Page

I watched the eclipse through dark glasses and it was superb. Interestingly this reflection at the top left of the photo I took was a mirror image of the eclipse at about the half way point.

Re: Cool Old Tools

Enjoyed the mics OC. Unk, appreciate seeing the tools especially those that are old friends and remembered by a story. Respect the organization of a well set up shop, too. The lathes coming along.

Re: Cool Old Tools

Thanks Unk. I’m usually underwhelmed but the new old stock condition of these Bridgeport Matchless No.94 Mechanics’ screwdrivers surpassed my expectations. A time capsule to the past.

Re: Cool Old Tools

Unk,
I remember seeing the bandsaw and just reviewed the post. You’re tool restorations are top notch. Hopefully an incentive to some of the younger generations who see them too.

Re: Cool Old Tools

Thanks GSPTOPDOG. They are in nice shape and I was lucky to be at the right place at the right time to get them. As you know most are found in lesser condition. A neat artifact from the old days of our grandfathers. Any neat stuff coming your way?

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?

Neat to recondition the old tools. Always feels good to leave things better than you found them.
