Hagan 46 Nitro back on the bench

I made several parts for that today. A few days of work will get that firing. It's going to be a fine rifle.

Then, the Alder Delta 32, and Rearick Tundra are in the mix. Along with several others I've mentioned lately.

I'm aware that I'm a supreme disappointment to everybody except the particular owner of the gun on the bench "today". No matter what I get accomplished ... it's blah blah .... until your name comes up. Of course, when your name comes up .... it's gonna be .... blah blah ... for everyone else. Can't tell you how rewarding it is to know that about 80% of the people I know are just gritting their teeth at their monitor no matter what I accomplish.

The way I feel much of the time, it's amazing I get anything at all done. But ... hey ... makes you wonder why I planned to fall apart so fast. whistling Darned inconsiderate of me.

Well, some of you have managed to find my latest work of interest. Thanks for your mail, among the rest.

thumbs up

Did some work on the trigger block / hammer group today. Takes a good bit of time to make a fine trigger. Just that cocking stud with it's solid brass component it a lot of work.
