A 6.5X55 with a Mannlicher stock... WOW! Now that would be some kinda nice. Is it a drop in affair or is there much smithing to be done? Give me a butterknife bolt handle and some set triggers and I'd clean out the safe. I was seriously thinking about a M77 Ruger International in 7 mm Mauser some t...

I did not find any in my searches....replacements stocks that is. These are somewhat rare guns that bring alot of money in original condition. I finally had Richards Micro fit make a Mannlicher stock for mine, with which I was not satisfied with(It was missing a step in the barrel channel, and they ...

Looking good Nath!

So, does one coat the unfinished(rough) side of the leather with Olive Oil, Lexol, or similar leather conditioner? It would seem that the leather would "drink" from that side a bunch better but people don't usually mess with it.

C. Cash

Well...I went out and did the Smith's "V" sharpener, and it put a darned good edge on my Buck 110. You see metal shavings from the blade, and I'm thinking that has to be some seriously hard metal in the V to shave the metal off a buck knife. But you guys are right...definitely works fast a...

It really ticks me to hear that you have such trouble getting staying here.....wish we could have you and more like you! Places that have had a great effect on me: -The coastal highway 1 from San Louis Obisbo to Monterey, CA -Sequoia Nat'l Park(worked there 3 seasons)...any of the other 2 nearby par...

Hi Jeeps, yes the Smith's hand sharpener works really well on scissors and kitchen knives as well. I have used it on my Swiss Army's also. I would imagine it takes a good bit of metal off though if you used it all the time and so I haven't used it on my expensive knives. Like you, I sometimes get a ...

I sure hope you guys can prevail Mike. Country's going to heck in a handbasket and this is an extremely important fight over the lead ban.

Has anyone heard from SteveB? Getting worried about that boy. He might be interested as he plays guitar a good bit.

I can't sharpen knives, I make them dull. I bought a Chef's Choice Model 110 carried by Cabelas. It currently lists for $84.99. It is a 3 stage process that reshapes the angle of the cutting edge of the blade and then the next 2 stages sharpen the knife. It works on straight edge knives, not serrat...

C. Cash

Thanks for that explaination! I will try, try again and see what happens

I think I may send my Buck 110 back to have it resharpened and start fresh. I've owned it for 25 years and it's amazing there is still metal left.

C. Cash

Jim; I know that you know this, and I pray that others learn. When the work of our military forces is complete a sad truth will still exist: Christian's work for the LORD still remains to be done. The peace desired by the Living God (and that sure is not allah) can only come through God's true, fin...

I have used Lexol on my Ozark Saddles and it has performed well. I would think it would work fine for gun leather.

C. Cash

Done!

C. Cash

I might try the Lansky sharpener again. I am mainly "sharpening" my Buck 110, Buck Special(Brand new as I gave up on my old ones.....I am told these are ground at a new angle) and assorted pocket knives. Also, will see if I might be able to drum up your post Scott. Muchos Gracias fellas!

C. Cash

C.Cash, I am the same way. I could have written your post, word for word. My dad could sharpen knifes, my friend in AZ can sharpen knifes, but NOT me. Noooooooo way. I'm watching too, there's got to be a way for us knife dullers to sharpen them. Joe Brother! The years of agony and self doubt you kn...

I am going to try to find a beater stock that I can cut down for my 7 year old, then add in the original stock when he gets older. Thanks fellas....can't fix the darned picture but I did my best.

C. Cash

I have to admit it, I'm a failed knife sharpener.....been trying to sharpen knives for over 30 years. I try for hours, often just butchering the edge angles and make it all but impossible to sharpen the knife again. I've used precut angles provided by manufacturers, tried to feel the "bite"...

Edit: I'll try and make the photo bigger...not sure what happened to it! Here goes: l-r New Marlin 39A, BB 94 in 356 Win., BSA Australian Cadet 32/20 http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b96/CCash/DSCN3610-2.jpg The longer barreled 39A balances right on the forend. Won't be shooting again this weekend ...

C. Cash

Thank you JimT. Let's never foget these innocent folks who perished.

C. Cash

Done! Thanks Don Tomas. I've noticed how little this is being covered over the past 2 days. Also, the left wing reaction to Patreus and some little good news coming out of Iraq is just about as sickening. Who needs Al Quaida when you have them to undermine our country?

C. Cash

For Long Rifle kits, Jim Chambers is highly regarded(probably not ideal for a beginner). For less money, Jack Garner's Tennessee Valley Manufacturing kits seem well worth the value. He offers the Tennessee Rifle at a reasonable cost(left hand versions available :) ). I just bought his Left handed La...

C. Cash

Yup...go out at night when it is coolest(early morning before sun, preferably).....squirt them with a can of Wasp Killer Spray. After you see they are dead and everything is saturated....go in a remove the nest material.

C. Cash

Thanks fellas. Will post more with pics and accuracy tests in the very near future(I am slow, but sure, most of the time :oops: ). Need to get some 356 Win. loaded up as well as I've been sidetracked a bit, shooting BP with a buddy of mine. I haven't been this excited to get a gun since I unwrapped ...

Congratulations!

Great looking rifle and I don't think you did bad. You see them every once in a while around here when some kid decides to sell his Great Grand Dad's rifle for beer and gas money

Neat history there.

Yessir....bestwishes and prayers offered up.

My wife saw it and got a big grin and said..."Can I shoot that one?" You betcha! :D She has always enjoyed my 10/22 and occassional skeet. Yes, it is a step back into time a bit indeed. It seems everyone has to buy a stainless zingbanger these days when the old classics provide much more e...

Good on Marlin and very nice looking wood there. Hope it shoots as good as it looks.

C. Cash

Picked up my boy's Marlin this morning. Everything on this rifle is a cut above what I expected(wood, fit/finish, etc..). I feel like I am a little kid again fooling around with this gun. I just had no idea that these rifles were so nicely made. ALL AMERICAN made too. An 1894 in 44 Mag. is looking e...
