THANKSGIVING 2016 At the range, white target paper with black circles just doesn't work well for me because I can't easily see the bullet holes. A few years ago I started using the Shoot-N-C type of targets, which work great. So, last week I was wandering around the local 99-Cent Store and saw some...

Griff, the only 2 screws I see up front are those securing the Scope Ring to the Base. If those are the ones you are referring to, they do not go through the Base and into the receiver. Is there another style/manufacturer of a Base ?? I only the the Weaver style I have, and that picture of the Willi...

I'll say Factory because I have that mount on my Win BigBore94 in .375Winchester. That is a Weaver scope base. All the drilled & tapped holes were already there to install the base, therefore, Factory. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/157419/weaver-side-mount-scope-base-3c-gloss With that said, ...

how about another one ..... This one made by Robert Hankins, he called it The Bear Slayer. 1/4" 5160 steel, 10" cutting length. As best I know, Hankins only made 4 of these around 2003 and I am truly privileged to have one. Beautiful lines, great balance, it really gets the job done. http:...

Another of my favorites, this one from a fellow in Michigan. About 1/4" thick, about 7" of cutting edge, a birdseye maple handle. Superb heat treat: I managed to put a tiny "bend" in the edge and the edge did not crack/facture. A fantastic chopper. http://i1254.photobucket.com/al...

One of my favorites. The 1/4"-thick Damascus steel blank (with 7" cutting edge) was hand-forged by Clint Chisan up in Canada. Dan Koster then created the knife as a custom for me. I chose teak for the handle and Dan did the rest. I've used it a bit to chop some small limbs, takes and holds...

I've done several trigger jobs on my leverguns and 1911's. I used a hard Arkansas stone. My method is to first look at the surface under a magnifying glass (or a loupe) for machining marks. What I do is gently stone to simply smooth the surface, which means to take off most of the peaks of the machi...

the way I "see" it: any old excuse to move that target closer so I don't have any trouble hitting it works for me. And I ain't talkin' about the bullseye, I'm talking about the entire 10" target.
