Firearm information for the enthusiast
When the barreled action was completed and finish chambered in “Either a 338 Ultra Mag… or a Nifty Paperweight Part 6“. The intention was to make some decisions regarding final finish and stocking, but that will take some time and I wanted to shoot the rifle as soon as possible. […]
So now that we are mostly a membership site, we are always looking for ways to promote membership, which usually means giving away stuff we can hardly afford. This AM, I walked in the shop wearing a T shirt, Cargo shorts and sneakers and jumped when someone took my picture. […]
I’m thinking there must have been a time when weekends meant road trips and sight seeing or maybe even a little relaxing, but the memories are too distant to form clearly in my recollections. Those days must have existed in a very narrow window of family life between too young […]
Chipmunks – Micro or Macro aggressors? My wife loves to watch the chipmunk families that live under the shop and along the property boundary stone fences. They scamper with their tails up like antennas, they pause and sit on their haunches to test the wind like a community of meerkats, […]

I have to say, this has become a messy project and one that has not been particularly satisfying in the efforts I put forth and the results I’ve achieved. The Ruger GP100 and Ruger Model 77/357 have tolerated my missteps and experiments without complaint. To the end they remain tight, […]
Accepting that the speed of my shooting, while accurate, was on par with that of a South American tree sloth… assuming a tree sloth could draw and fire a double action revolver, I invested in a copy of Ed McGivern’s “Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting”. Applying some of the book’s […]
