  5. She didn't ban the closing of liquor stores and weed shops because they need the money from the taxes these businesses generate.
  6. nice old "flat latch" you have their. Gandpa did a ! of a job on those grips, definitely more hand filling than those original Round butt magna grips. Great family heirloom!! if you have any more info about your grandad's relationship to the gun, old pictures of him with it, keep those together and right down anything you know about it so when your gone your son has the complete history. Keep it LIGHTLY oiled to prevent corrosion and enjoy!
  7. Thank you. It did not have the original grips, it had a set of Magnas from the 50's that were beat to crap oil soaked and funky. I have been looking for some pre-war service style, like the originals, but haven't found any I could afford. Took the escutcheons and medallions out of the junkers and used them for these grips. still keeping an eye open for a used set that is not to beat up, that I can restore. If you have time post a pick of the grips your grandfather made.
  8. Spent the last couple of days carving a set of stocks for a Smith & Wesson K 22 Outdoorsman, the gun was built in 1934 and had been orphaned.Some pitting on the cylinder, carefully removed the pits and polished it. Sent it off to Bobby Tyler in Texas to have it blued. While it was away I worked on the stocks. The extractor housing and rod were bent as well, chucked it in the lathe and straightened it with the help of a dial indicator. here are some pics of her ready for another 86 years. I have named her "Corona"!
  9. Mine was tequila, they found my buddy and I the next morning passed out in a newly planted soybean field with and empty bottle and a salt shaker and some half eaten limes. Have never cared for the taste of limes since!

  18. A trick I learned fishing for cats that suck the bait off the hook. thread the shrimp in the hook then take some cotton sewing thread and wrap around the shrimp 10-15 times. Keeps the bait in the hook. works on the lakes and rivers around here, should work on those Louisiana cats as well. I use frozen shrimp from the seafood section at Wally world.
