It is tough to get a good bore shot. This is a rimfire breech done with a $20 USB pseudo-microscope. I walk the focus up and down the length of the chamber: Lon.by Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, Looks like 1" CTC, tracking perfectly. Gun looks familiar. Bet there is an interesting story in there somewhere. Ever hear from Jim(wasn't it?) from PA? His Bison was an all-time favorite of mine. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, In my line of work I have been on every work shift you could imagine and some you couldn't. Years ago I would get home after a tough swing shift from 4:00p - 12:00A and have a beer on the back porch. On more than one occasion I would watch the most amazing lighting storms off on the horizon, literally non-stop strikes. Miami is no stranger to lightning strikes but I have NEVER heard ofby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gosh, not one joke yet about Gary doing a LOT more grinder work and looking down a couple of inches more. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, I just finished working Sat. - Tue. 12 hour shifts everyday so I don't spend time on the Internet during those crunch weeks other than to check email. The scenario you gave was, the only thing that changed was the phone, all was working fine until then. New equipment is almost always backward compatible, especially things like the Bluetooth and Ethernet standards. My first guess waby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, Is the new phone in "airplane mode"? Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Kurt, Is that gap where you fall off the Earth? Merry Christmas to all. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, Vocal music major huh. Bass no doubt. I'm so deep in the city, if I shoot, it has to be at the range. If I go to the range, I shoot powder. The last time I took precharged to the range I was with Keith and he was single-handedly responsible for getting SCUBA banned from the Miami-Dade County range. Any time the Florida weather tries your nerves, break out those old photos of youby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
BTW, that is the Teardrop camper in the picture frame right? They are VERY popular in the camping circuit and they fetch a fair price, especially for the wood retro versions. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Been too long since I've sat by a fire, the last time may have been with you and Kurt. Longing to do it again soon. Great gifts Gary. That Santa thing isn't going over as well as before you lost all the...………...uh, well you just don't resemble him as much these days. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I bailed on Photobucket. Imgur is my new "next ex-host". Yes, keep a copy. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Happy birthday Gary. Better you than me. Everybody has my permission to forget mine. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Kurt, I wish I could have joined you at that auction. That collection may never be duplicated outside a museum again. Way to capitalize on the opportunity! Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Working nonstop, 7days a week. Enjoying? Well, I like eating. My employer calls it "reducing redundancy". It's been a very strange year for me but on balance, here I am. Christmas music has been playing nonstop in my orbit for a week. YouTube has some EXCELLENT music compilation videos. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gee, ya almost don't want to take it out of the display case. Nice! Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
What a coincidence, I had a mess today that involved baking soda too. Banana nut bread. Gooey stuff everywhere. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Brad Troyer was kind enough to post this link to an action on the Yellow Forum. I'm not in the market personally but it is great eye candy. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Kurt, Lots O filing for sure. The more I learn about metal working, the more I appreciate hand tools. vises and files still have their place. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I'll bet drilling those screw holes in the scales is a nail biter. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, In addition to just being plain gorgeous, I don't recall seeing the lever assist back then. That is a huge favorite of mine on knives if executed well. Once again, you were out in front. Hope you fired the marketing team. Same guys that did the "Where's Herb" campaign for Burger King around the same time? Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hope you're not toasting those with pine. Man, if you could get those beetles dried out and inlet a scale to accept them, they would look cool on a knife. Hey! Where are those pink flamingos I sent as a house warming gift a few years back? Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
The pattern always struck me as oriental. It immediately made me think of oriental house décor. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Brian, That gun always shot great. When I saw your rifle at Standing Stone 1 for the first time, there was concern for the targets we were using, the gun was splitting the steel plate that Gary used to make the targets. I forget what the solution was, but maybe Guido(The original owner) was made to shoot last. I had a Quackenbush Bandit in .50 caliber to shoot while I was waiting forby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
As we advance in age, "well" is a relative term. I'm not "not well", but it has been a most unusual year. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
WOW, didn't see that coming. That really sets it off. I should have known better. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, That is a great pistol, I don't even have to refer to a picture to know exactly which gun it is. Looks like a muzzle loading dueling pistol right? Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
"Well, everyone has gone silent all at once" In the middle of the work week with the new school year having just started? Say it ain't so. "That's a knife"(Said with Stralian accent). Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, Damascus steel knives have always fascinated me. Quite a rich history with reams of reading material. Pretty interesting that, IIRC, the origins are not documented well. Again, IIRC, it was a lost art that was either rediscovered or resurrected a few times in history, Bill Moran being the latest iteration. Walter Sorrells is my second favorite US knife maker. He is definitely worthby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, It has been a while since I've seen that much carving on one piece. Turned out great. Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary, The contrast and polishing really up the look. Simply amazing results! Lonby Bigbore - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
