    It's Bee season...

    Really??? The directions said it was harmless to animals. We have several cats too. I'm glad you posted this.

    It's Bee season...

    I started last year spraying Permethrin on my deck and down at the barn and I really think it has made a big difference. I have a back pack sprayer and I put on goggles and a mask (although they say it is not harmful to humans and pets) and saturate things. I may look like something out of a B...

    Ruger 3 screw Blackhawks.

    I have a 3 screw from '68 that I bought at gunshow and it had been "updated" with transfer bar, etc. I wanted to take it back to original and the folks on this forum helped me get that done. Great resources here.

    Thank you, Iroc, for pointing this out. I mentioned it earlier in the thread but then it began to take on a life of it's own, ha. Never dreamed it would eclipse 100 responses.... Anyway, here are two more photos of the Remington 512P that I bought and, I might add, am very happy with. It...

    I never dreamed that this humble thread would generate so many responses. There have been some real classics discussed here along with some beautiful photos and I have learned a great deal about not only models I had a familiarity with, but in some cases, models I had no knowledge of. Thanks...

    Really looks nice. Would you mind briefly describing your refinishing process? Especially how you prepped the stock to begin with. I am partial to a boiled linseed oil rubbed finish but I am uncertain the best way to prep the wood. thanks,

    It's not that the 10/22 is not a great rifle. May get one down the road, but as I have said at least three times on this thread, I prefer the older walnut (wood) and steel approach to the synthetics. Just like some batters prefer wood bats over aluminum.... As to the pistol, I already own a...
