Re: Something you hope never to see overhead...
I don't worry when I see them riding a thermal, but these guys were on the ground in the county road that runs along my fence line. I stopped to see what they were interested in, but didn't find anything. My place is open country there, nothing in the road and nothing in the short grass on the other...

I have taken 'em off and put 'em back on. I made similar action wrench and made a barrel vice that used a 2 ton bottle jack, 2 7/8" all threads and blocks of oak inletted to hold the barrel.

Re: Anyone ever converted a straight-stock BLR to a pistol grip?
I didn't know they'd ever made a pistol gripped BLR. (I don't get out much).
I think it would be worth the risk to buy the take down model and try the swap. You can't lose even if the parts won't go.

Re: Archery cart

I do have a storage question though. Do you leave the traditional (non-compound) bows strung all the time? This can cause them to take a set and lower their draw strength.
I didn't know if the cart is for shop/home storage or for access at tournament.
