Re: Drugs & Gun Powder don't mix!

Cat??? Coot??? Guess this old coot needs his eyes checked!

The Siamese Vegan Pointer is an excellent hunting breed. Their known for their uncanny ability to find and flush wild zucchinis from cover.

Another excellent breed is the Golden Tabby Retriever. Here's my Golden Tabby, named Whiskers, during a recent bird hunt.

Re: Advice on refinishing wood?

Wow that was quick!!! Looks awesome fellow Krag Brother in Arms!!! If your really felling ambitious you might want to consider attaching a wood stock extension.

Re: Advice on refinishing wood?

I've purchased 2 of the carding brushes that Brownell's has to offer (small and large). They are awesome! One is used for carding or removing the rust during the bluing process.

Re: Advice on refinishing wood?

Hi MosbyRidge, Shouldn't be a problem if you were to go that route. Just rub the stock with a soft cloth to get the excess wax off. Most folks around these parts will usually try to NOT refinish an original and in good condition Krag stock. All that's required most of the time is some BLO, Lemon Oil...

Re: PIGS!

Re: Why did the US go with the Krag design?

Death Stara.jpg Now that's firepower! I wonder if the Emperor really wanted to rule the galaxy by suppression of rebellion through the use of force or did he just like blowing up planets?
