We were finally able to get out to the range on Saturday after being snowed/rained out earlier in the week. Unfortunately, all the pictures I took went to computer heaven when I tried to download them (I made a really rookie error - I am so ashamed).
Before hitting the Range -
Since it has been WAY [...]
I rarely complain about Montana Weather but today I am going to make an exception. My soon to be Son in Law, bought a new Marlin Bolt-action .30-06 for hunting this year and we were going to go to the range and break it in. It was also suppose to be a good excuse to [...]

The first set of furniture is done and installed in the gunsmithing room. It isn’t pretty but it is certainly functional and cost less than $100.00 to build. Two more phases to go. I should be done with all of it by the first week in August.
These pieces were constructed of OSB and 1″ X [...]
As my wife and I have been watching “Stargate: Atlantis” on DVD over the last week or so, I thought I would put up a post about the PS-90. I have said many times that I find most “puddle shooter” caliber guns to be of little value to me, but this one I would actually [...]

This is a major bill and anyone interested in [...]

Shop Notes - Completed third bench and set up. Began unpacking tools.
Late last year, my lovely wife purchased for me a Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle.She is well aware of my love of old military weaponry and a dealer at a local gun show had a number [...]

It never fails to amaze me how rational and adult Americans can give into fear. I know that the last 8 years has been a perfect example of this with Bush Co running the show, but it still amazes me. A fine example of this can be seen in the Post Election Gun Buying Craze.
