Savage 93r17

Been wanting a decent home defense shotgun for a while. And really just an all around fun gun. Figured the A300 fit that bill and picked it up second hand but never fired for $700. Decent deal IMO

Then I went looking for a 17HMR to slay some rabbits. Damn things destroy the garden and we got a ton of them hopping around. Didn't find one but couldn't pass up the Ruger 10/22 when the guy showed it to me. Never seen one like this. Carbon...

I tried sharpening it to no avail. So it needs a really good sharpening. TBH, I have no idea where it even came from. Just cleaning up some things and found it.

First one to reply within the USA can have it.

Caught this nice carp Friday, just a piece of bread pinched on the hook so it floats on the surface and crept around with polarised glasses on watching the water, great to target a specific fish and actually catch it!!

I have a few axes that work great, a felling ax from the 1920's that was my grandfathers and a Plumb hand/camp ax that I have since the 60's. Some others that are not so good.

Does anyone make high end axes that are not geared to the lumberjack games?

I have a wild hare that if my Plumb was heat treated harder it would work so much better/ can that be done?]]> 42 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 01:52:37 +0000 https://www.kitchenknifefora.com/threads/photos-of-the-great-outdoors.730/ https://www.kitchenknifefora.com/threads/photos-of-the-great-outdoors.730/ invalid@example.com (Jim) Jim View attachment 1242 View attachment 1243]]> 238 Tue, 29 May 2018 03:20:05 +0000 https://www.kitchenknifefora.com/threads/tree-identification.4718/ https://www.kitchenknifefora.com/threads/tree-identification.4718/ invalid@example.com (Toothpick) Toothpick

I have very few possessions besides work related tools/equipment so those I do have are treasured dearly. This is one of them, my Springfield M1A (AKA M14)

Seeing that I don't have the money to ever go shooting I find that I need to scratch the itch somehow and one of those ways has been to fix up the old Winchester Western 1960's vintage USGI birch stock that I bought years ago.

I'd like to share some pictures from the guys trip to Michigan back in September. Another friend of mine has lots of family in Michigan and one of his cousins supplied all the weaponry. Everything from .22 rifles to Glock 17, 5.56 rifle, 12ga shotgun, .45acp,....several others I can't remember.

I have been hooked on firearms since that day. It was thrilling!
