    My 2014 Deer Hunt

    I'd like to see the orange capote, if you're able, and don't mind. Thanks for the story!

    Cold weather brute!!! Pics to follow.

    Very nice deer you got. I was also out in the 15 degree Indiana opening morning yesterday. I can't believe how cold it is here, so early. At least I didn't have wind to go with it. But as soon as the sun warmed it a bit, the wind kicked in. Right now there's snow on the ground, and more...

    Rifle ID? And What Would You Do With It?

    Yes, it does look out of square in the pic. What I do know is that the peep has you looking something like 45 degrees above the plane of the barrel. It won't crank down lower, so I think it should've been put lower on the tang and cranked up a bit. That's the problem with the vertical. If I...

    Rifle ID? And What Would You Do With It?

    I was looking for a T/C peep earlier, I was shocked to see people asking $186 the last I located them. I wouldn't pay more than $40, so I did without. That's something I want to do, see if I can match the sight up to a known part number and maybe make use of them.

    Rifle ID? And What Would You Do With It?

    If that "chip" was a notch deliberately put there, it was one lazy gunmaker that just gave it a rough whack and said good enough! I experimented with the triggers. The set won't set, hammer back, nor hammer relaxed. I'm not going to rush into anything with it. My trouble around here is...

    Rifle ID? And What Would You Do With It?

    I don't think your gun is ugly at all. The one I picked up will need some work before it's worth shooting. The family that had it, I think just shot it to be shooting, not caring if they hit the target or not. When I asked about the peep, I was told they looked over the aperture and through...

    Rifle ID? And What Would You Do With It?

    Yeah, the sights and trigger are what caught my attention. I knew the lock had an issue going over there. I won't mind telling you that he was asking $50 and I gave $35. He also promised me a "crate of accessories and ammo" when he came across it, but I'm not holding my breath. If that...

    Rifle ID? And What Would You Do With It?

    Yes, I was a little bit impressed with the barrel. It's heavy, long, pretty smooth. I think the barrel has some rust in it. I saw some other people on here talking about having ruined barrels bored out to a larger caliber, I thought if that was worthwhile there sure is plenty of girth to work...

    Rifle ID? And What Would You Do With It?

    I picked this rifle up yesterday for cheap, and if it has to be a wall hanger or a part gun, so be it. I can live with that for the price I paid. But I am wondering if anyone may have an idea of its origins (there are no apparent markings, and it seems to be a 32 caliber). I'd also welcome...

    The Decline of the Rendezvous?

    I'm 32 and have been going to Friendship ever since I can remember. I fondly recall the years between 1992-98. Now they always have had a "flea market" side, where anything could be offered for sale, and quite a few did offer modern novelties, trinkets, imported "junk." But for every such...

    New England points of interest?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Popham I found it very interesting and beautifully situated, and was the first non-stockade fort I had ever seen in person. It's about ten miles south of Bath, Maine, so not far from Route 1.
