Bruce, that wood is BEAUTIFUL. I would call it the "find" of the year! I like that barrel retainer setup. When you mentioned a dovetail cutter I was afraid you were talking about installing sights on the barrel! :D Not to harp on "Smaug", but I just found that another name for the...

That quote is direct from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Now that I think about it, given the upcoming movie you'll have a hard time convincing anyone that you made the axe/pistol first and named it second if you call it "Smaug". :3: I have heard (in movies, etc.) it pronounced so it rhymes...

That thing is making my head spin! I'm going to suggest 'Smaug' as a name. The old dragon boasted: "My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!" Seems like a good fit to me!

Wow, that's a gorgeous rig. Something a southpaw like me can drool over for hours. :D

Aw, heck, thanks. But it's just a Krylon special! A man I respect highly said "I just degreased it and sprayed it with Krylon or muffler paint until it looked good" when asked about the finish on his AI AW rifle. Easy to touch up and costs next to nothing. My only goal was to keep the gun...

Did somebody say "paint"? :D

Looks like a frogsticker (as opposed to a pigsticker) to me. :D That's an awesome lil' bowie.

I think I'm going to have to shut off avatars and .sigs. too. My brain can't handle the syncopated flow with them in place!

First I'll state that this site is wonderful. As fine a group of people as you'll see anywhere and I'm grateful to the Big Boss for keeping the lights on. But...for most forums that I visit I have "New Posts Since Last Visit" as my bookmark. So most of the time I am looking at search results...

Now yer talkin'!!! 2thumbs

I hate to say it, but this is NY. That place has been a lost cause for as long as I can remember.

Hot dang! Big, hi-rez pics, PLEEEEASE!!!!!

Well, I read this quote in another thread and it reminded me of a study done at my alma mater (sadly long after I departed). I thought you all might enjoy a little side-trip down Psychology Lane to read about the Dunning-Kruger Effect. 2thumbs

Love the Sharps and plan to get a single shot lever action of some kind in .45-70 someday, but the fighter-ish thing is cool too. You only see it in the opening credits. Looks like a hidden-tang fighter with a (stag? elk?) horn handle. Silver buttcap and guard. Obviously a stock removal...

Make it a 10ga Mr. Bump and you'll have my undivided attention. :D
