I need to break it in on some hogs. That and my Whelen sould make a nice combo.

They made a few hundred of them. I really think it is one of the neater special runs they have made.

Thanks. I'll have to let you try it out in a few weeks if I make it to Raton.

Have you been staying out of the storms lately. Every day they pop up I happen to be in the air. We were all over Oklahoma , Arkansas and West Texas today, I am tired of getting beat up, glad I am off tomorrow.

A fine piece of work! Shame about the caliber, though... (reply)

I like them all from .22 to to .500. I have a pile of .45s in the safe too. As long as it isn't a .41 I like it.

We don't have bears around here either, but plenty of hogs. Hopefully I can pop one, or a deer with it sooner or later.

I've done a front sight on a mill... (reply)

Jared — Mon, 20 May 2013 04:04:28 +0000

I was pleased with how it turned out. The flats all turned out flat and pretty darn square. I wish that the blued Rugers would have pinned in sights. I would be making quite a few more if they did.

That didn't turn out nearly that nice.

Dadgum, Jared - that is some snazzy chunk of iron. I don't hang around bears, but if I did I would want something like that walking along beside me.

Thanks it turned out pretty close to what I had in my head. That is one of the first guns to be released that I knew I had to get one as soon as I could. Most things I buy used when I find a good deal.

Reminds me of a Boeing 747SP. (reply)

Jared — Mon, 20 May 2013 01:12:29 +0000

I like the 747 SP too. Raytheon was building a telescope patatform on a SP back in the late 90s when I flew out of Waco. It was an old United bird they gave to NASA. I have a few pictures of it somewhere I took with a point and shoot 35mm.

I may go with something like the TLA to give me a longer radius but I will see how I do with it as is.

Was just gonna drop by and not even log in

BUT

Had to stop and say that gun and holster are some kinda purty!

Thanks, (reply)

An Airline is the place you go to that sucks all of your dreams and talent right out of you.

If I had a lathe, mill, and a few other things I could have some real fun. The sight was made from a 3' steel bar. I used a hacksaw and a file to shape it. I havent made a set of stocks in close to 3 years so these didnt turn out quite as nice as I was hoping.

They had to put a taller tail on it to compensate for the much shorter fuselage affecting yaw stability. Just looks weird at first.

Your could sell advertising on that front blade. (reply)

Jared — Mon, 20 May 2013 00:03:16 +0000

Probably could. I like patridge front sights. It is WAY more visiable than the ramp they put on them. I may do a TLA or Clements style next. My goal is to figure out what height to make it. This one is .050" taller than factory.
