I think she's my new girlfriend. Very nice Doc! If you like great music performed by an easy-on-the-eyes lass -- then you need to listen/watch Lola Astanova . Lola Astanova performs "Children" by Robert Miles https://source.boomplaymusic.com/group10/M00/07/06/283400533a6a427db0bd9d4785f6f...

Back in the early 70s, my late mother pulled a package out of the freezer aptly marked "Chicken Breasts -3" and she set it out to defrost for company coming over later. Oh my, was she p*ssed when she unwrapped 3 of her "precious Bluejays "! You see, my brothers and I were doing a...

Some Friday humor for you....

My black lab "Jack Daniels" lays down on the kitchen floor, and he gets patted, rubbed and loved by my bride of 39 years.

So I asked her: "What would you do if you found ME laying down on the kitchen floor?"

Glad to see a fellow levergunner get back in the saddle. Not glad to see that you had an "accident", but when I saw the post, at first I read "range + accident" and almost connected those 2 words together (for a second or two)... For sure, no accident is fun, but I am very glad t...

I agree with all the above. I'd also be checking throat diameter versus the diameter of each chamber. If if comes down to it -- shoot some 5-shot groups "from each chamber", to see if you can isolate an issue. That's what led me to tune-up the cyliner throats of an old GP100 that I had yea...

From what I remember of the crash, he just barely cleared the buildings at the waterfront, so was under 200' and probably less than 100' when he was over water (feet wet).

Hello Lenn. Those are really neat!

I'm not answering your question at all. Sorry. Maybe this will help: In most applications where Damascus Steel is being used today, it was chosen for its aesthetics - how it looks.

One thing is for sure -- don't ever use a solvent which has ammonia in it, as I've read that it will lift the plating. As for restoration, I wonder if there's a bright silver Ceracoat (ceramic-based finish -- not sure if I spelled it right...) color that would match closely and be much more durable?...

Old No7

I love stag handles or grips... And I love Damascus steel too... Put them together with some brass into a Boot Knife shape -- and yup, I bought it! So far, this is only serving as an "Executive Letter Opener" at my desk as there's no way to know what stresses the blade will handle. :shock:...

I'm thinking that "Gold" -- if it is plated -- would not tarnish or discolor.

That'll do just fine. Do you plan to leave the wood pores open or are you going to fill the pores? Also do yourself a favor and get snap caps, the older Browning hammer springs had a tendency to break if left cocked.

I picked up a decent used Browning Citori Hunter in 12 gauge (28” barrels) that I’ll use for hunting instead of my nicer CX 32” model.

OK, so it's now 2022 and I remember 1970 -- me being all of 10 years old then. Anyway... It's occurred to me that the years 1918 versus 1970 were 52 years apart -- the SAME as for the above span in years. It's odd to me, as it seems the world changed more between 1918 and 1970...
