    Gardening Round2 Deer problem

    Cats can, but not always, take care of mice. One of mine carried a dead mouse for 3 days, I finally disposed of the lil critter, quite nicely chewed on. Domiciles in the woods need a good "barn cat" to take care of mice, ground squirrels, etc. I've got the cats, just need the house in the woods!

    Gardening Round2 Deer problem

    You can even get solar-powered electric fencing now; very effective! Back in college, buddy and I went squirrel hunting in a wooded pasture area - with owner's permission. As we were leaving, he stopped to "water the grass", turned away from me. I noticed he had his "Sweet Sixteen" cradled in...

    Gun range

    I lived in south Florida for a total of 42 years. That part of Florida makes a pancake look like mountains! Gotta go where there's not only left and right, but also up and down! (giggle!)

    Did I ruin grips

    There used to be a product, think it was called "Barkeeps Friend" that was used to remove water rings from flat, finished surfaces. Rub it in good, circles disappear. I always thought it must be very fine valve grinding compound.

    Gun range

    I am contemplating buying some land and building a house in rural western NC. One of the biggest requirements is if I can build a firing range of about 200 yards, with safe backstop. I'm currently in a small Ohio town with NO place to shoot! Of course, given my history, I'd like to have a...

    Flintolock pistol rises, never hit the target :-(

    The cock on our old fashioned pistols also has mass. And as it goes forward (clock-wise if you're on the right), it can cause a counter-clockwise torque effect, adding to the firing recoil.

    Amen! You gotta get things set up proper, then it's like a ballet, all working in harmony.

    How old are ya?

    If I live to September, I'll be 79 years old. The way my body has been beaten up by Vietnam, I'll be surprised. Getting more difficult to move around. When I was 6, we moved to England, had my 6th birthday in the middle of the Atlantic. We were a Navy family, and traipsed the world. This was...

    bending brass for patch box cover?

    It has a very large radius bend from the butt plate forward. I was thinking of using an oxygen tank as a form.
