While at Cabela's today the F.I.L. became aware of a recall that came out last Wednesday. Here is a paragraph from G&A “Springfield has determined that under exceptionally rare circumstances, some 3.3 XD-S 9mm and .45ACP caliber pistols could experience an unintended discharge during the loading...

Worked out the tong issue with little trouble. First time so there was some R&D, but worked through it. Finished off the notches with a file. We have all sorts of scrap metal around, plenty of metal to make our own tools with. Enjoy!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/Trails650/Tongs_zps227...

I see you are using Plaster of Paris for refractory. It must be nice and light. I used cement covered with a half inch of fireclay for mine, and it weighs a ton. I have always wanted to build a propane burner for it, but I have used charcoal and a blower till now. Cement was a option but we just mi...

We will be doing that as well, most any small jobs, fits my 9in knife just fine for the finsl tempering.
Lots of fun.

Right now we are going to make some tongs. please post your tong project too. what plan are you going to use? or build by eye? We built it by eye. Did all right just need to dill the whole. ...

The only improvement will be to switch out the "hobby" torch for a more industrial one hooked to a least a 20lb tank. Although we did fire the forge which took 72 min and heat up a 5/8 rod on a 1/3 of a 1lb tank. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/Trails650/2_zps6981e90d.jpg http://img...

About ready to drill the holes for the handle and build the angle sharping jig.
Also will be mixing the plaster of Paris with sand for the coffee can forge.
More to come.

With all the knife making activity around the homestead, my F.I.L. brought out a knife he had bought 60 plus years ago while on a moose hunting trip in Canada. They had purchased a 1903 from the local hardware store for $29.95. I now have that rifle and it is one of the serial # rifles that had the ...

Sounds tasty!

Any spices used?

I am really enjoying your post about making knives from files. Please keep posting as you go. I was thinking about your design, maybe you can use the tang and save some of the file for a second knife? Some of the Finnish Pukkos use a tang similar to the files for the grip. Steve There is almost hal...

I like the roast rabbit and beer part 8) Yeah, that part has a certain "panache'". That did not go over too well when the family came home and found dad next to a pile of rabbit bones, a few empty bottles of Corona, a hint of the smell of bacon and a content grin on his face. So today we ...

Brought the files through the annealing process. I heard or read about a ½ dozen different way to go about it, but the one I opted for was the slowest,but seemed to be the best. Basically build a nice fire out back, we used pine to get it going and then oak for some retained heat. Once that gets dow...

Hey guys thanks for the interest!
I will make an organized effort to record this whole project for post here as well as a "scrapbook" for the knife makers.
Look for part one “Design and Annealing” this Friday afternoon, with pics this time.

To commemorate 5 years of grandfather-daughter and father deer camp, we have formed a plan to make 3 knives, staring tomorrow and have them finished before camp. Plenty of fire-side chats and some research went into the approach, until I was able to sort of Frankenstein them together. We will make t...

No I did not.
I can get loaded ammo for less than that and keep the brass.

Basically if it was a semi-auto pistol, even a Raven or High-Point they went for $300+!! Stainless S&W 357's & 38's in excellent condition all went for $250 and less. Pump tacticle looking shotguns all went for top dollar. A stainless used mini-14 with a couple of 75rd drums went for $1150. ...

I wanted those when I started to price for my home gym, but it was not in the buget.

I stopped at Play-It-Again-Sports and even with used/rusty plates and olympic bar I'm still into it $250 just to get to my max deadlift weight.

That's one tough lookin' dog! jb 8) As long as mom and dad say your ok she is all lab and is a warm lump of fur with her ears back and looking for a belly rub. Otherwise she is 52lbs of hard muscle and teeth and lives up to everything that you have ever heard about a Chow. Another more serious look...

Aubrie is a Lab/Chow mix and hands down the best dog I've ever had.

Took about a month for my order through them as well. I ordered first week of Jan and got the order first week of Feb.
Even they are getting low on just about everything.
Unless you have a 7.62x54R and want corrosive ammo, then you can get 440rds for less than a c-note.

Most of what I shoot is not overly loud I just use both plugs and ear muffs because why risk it.

I have never seen any need whatsoever to have a round chambered when hunting. Only takes a second to jack one in after you have spotted the game and got into position. Probably 90% or more of so-called hunting "accidents" are a result of someone have a round chambered when there was no ne...

I've put 50rds through my FIL XDS. Very nice pistol, shoots well and ate up everything we put in it.

One in the chamber and then engage the safety or lower the hammer. That is how my father and grandfather showed me while hunting. I do it now with any firearm that has that option and teach my children the same. My opinion is that if your actively hunting or carrying then your firearm is ready for i...

As to the guy loading three JHP and then ball.......

Ball will never expand. JHPs can occasionally fail to expand and punch through.

I don't want it to expand hence the ball ammo.

WCF3030

Looks good.

I can certainly appreciate the work.
I've 5 cord done and 5 more to have done by the end of the month.

For everyday carry mine is Hornady 115 FTX for the first 3 then 124gr FMJ+P for the rest. With the thinking that after the first 3 shots if the goblin is still breathing then its looking for cover and the fmj have the better penetration.
For woods carry its all 124 FMJ+P.

that's the one!!!
