RIHMFIRE, I have been thinking about a Ruger Hunter .22 for by boy when he turns 13. What would you say about the quality of the triggers on these handguns, if you don't mind a little thread drift.

I had a single six that was good, but like the Colt New Frontier .22/.22 mag better. Beautiful case colors and shoots both well. I just killed a few hundred prickly pear fruit last week and like the color when they explode. I set a few key limes on top and shoot them first then the pear fruit. Had a...

Griff, a friend who is WAY off the grid fired up a straight six (GM) on blocks in his shop, and runs his whole place on one quart of fuel a day. He is no newcomer to off grid living, been out in the sticks since Nixon. His place has modern amenities.

I've never submerged a part, always just used Qtips, but with guitars we are talking much thinner pieces of wood. Marlin wood being really thick, Im thinking it might take awhile. While nitro is practically corrosive, I don't think submerging wood could hurt it. Try for an hour, then two... Some epo...

TedH: Forgot a good tip: I like super glue on gun repairs because wood glue will melt at around 130 degrees or so, which it gets to easily in a Texas truck in the summer, and VERY easily in the trunk of a car. The drawback is that super glue is more brittle than wood glue which is more flexible, som...

Forends are prone to crack, as they are U shaped and weak. I have repaired many, usually shotguns. My experience with wood repair is instrument related, been doing this work for over 20 years full time. Nitro methane is a much better solvent for cyanoacrilate glues (super glue originally called craz...

Mescalero I do not envy your predicament. I should have taken a loved ones truck keys away some months before he died. Thank God he didn't kill anyone. I could not bring myself to remove his freedom/ transportation. You are a better man than I, hold steady to your resolve sir, and be extra careful.

Bronco I use the strop in the repair shop, not so much in the kitchen. I made mine 4" wide and 20" long on a piece of hardwood and use a fine jewelers rouge. A good strop is a great way to round a superior keen edge if proper bevel angles are not consistent, over enthusiastic use of a stro...

92&94, you might be surprised that with a medium diamond stone you can sharpen even the dullest knife in under a minute with an edge that will last nicely even with hard use.

As a Luthier (one who makes or repairs stringed instruments) I have a great many knives (German violin knives) and chisels that are in constant use.

You are right about the volume of the break open airgun. Got one for the Boy on his BD. LOUD. We shot a .22 recently with a supressor that was way quieter shooting Aguilla subsonic loads. Seems the air gun was 10x louder.

I have the big yeti and it will keep ice for 4-5 days in the desert. The trick is to cool it down with ice the day before you stick stuff in it. It is also rated for dry ice, I have not tried that.

Never found anything handier for snakes than .22 HP to the head. They cannot tolerate it. Store-bought shotshells in any caliber are comparatively high dollar.
