    Montana deer B tag

    I was able to purchase a Montana Deer B surplus tag! What's confusing is it didn't require an out of state general hunt. License. :hmm: All I needed was a hunting access enhanced. So for $80.00 I got an out of state deer B antlerless tag. That's better than what I can get in Wa. Go...

    Lidu black powder

    I want to say first that I prefer Goex for my ml's. With that said, I have one particular ml that I'm fond of that's picky. It likes Lidu 3f black powder. I tried just about everything else but for some reason it likes the stuff. Any one know where I can find Lidu 3f?

    Knife handle pin/rod

    Has anyone used a wood dowel instead of a rod/pin in making their knife handle? I read about someone doing it. Never heard of it before. Might make for a nice looking contrast on a wood handle.

    I thought it was a carbide tipped bit that one needed for stainless steel. Purchased a colbalt & tungsten carbide tip bit with chrome vanadium steel shank. Got it home and it reads on the back "Not recommended for use on soft metals....Stainless steel." :idunno: What type do I need and who?
