    109 Expedition rig build

    No, it's got the original nozzles and injectors. Truth be told it sounds pretty good for an engine who's history I know almost nothing about. Not even sure of the mileage...The guy I got it from said somewhere short of 200k. It seems well cared for with very little crank case pressure. Those...

    Another "help me pick a rifle" thread

    Nothing says redneck like a lever gun. Find yourself an old Marlin 39A. Great little .22 that you can pass down to your kids. The sight of a lever gun is less threatening to the anti-gun crown than to have, say, an AR15 hanging in the back window of your truck. I like to keep one or two...

    ARB vs. Campinglab awning

    Looking at getting one of the two for the side of my 109. Anyone have either that can offer some insight? Thanks!

    carry gun

    Put your hands around a P6 (255) if you get a chance. They're only a single stack but fit small hands very well and conceal better than the 226. Might be perfect for your wife and cheap enough that you don't have to worry too much about banging it up. The piles of them that came into the...

    carry gun

    It's been pretty good so far. I'm getting tired of waiting for my holster...I want to start carrying this thing!

    carry gun

    In the article I wrote for Overland Journal in the summer '08 edition I account an incident that happened to us in northern Quebec. One afternoon a mature black bear wandered into our campsite looking for something yummy. (We were cooking steak and didn't have enough to share.) He was turned...

    Nice shot and a nice deer.

    carry gun

    I have one in 9mm. The 40's seem to be a bit troublesome. Yes, it's very thing and fits my hand perfectly. I've broken it in and it's been very reliable thus far. It's also pretty accurate for such a small, short-barreled gun. I ordered a IWB holster from Kevin at K&D holster back in July...

    carry gun

    I might open-carry in bear country, in the fall in Alaska, though I've been back-woods camping in both Denali (where you can't carry) and down on the Kenai and only carried bear spray. I know the threat of bears is real but I think it's a bit over-blown. Up in the Adirondacks or North Maine...

    carry gun

    There seems to be lot of these around. I don't think Taurus sold as many of these as they had hoped. They're a cool truck-gun but too big and clunky to carry anywhere. Hold and shoot one before you leap.

    carry gun

    I've got one of those in the "PUG" version. Fun little things. They're like jewelery. Daily carry in the winter is a NAA Guardian in .32, back-pocket holster Daily carry in the summer is a Keltec P3AT (.380), back-pocket holster If I'm going somewhere scary I'll carry a Sig P6 IWB. I've also...

    '08 Hunting/harvest report

    Looks like a Browning A5? What year? I went and looked at a first-year Belgium A5 today but passed on it. Had a open choke and a Cutts compensator on it. It was in pretty nice shape. They guy said new, unfired but it's hard to tell. Wanted $650 for it. Nice pile of bunnies and birds!

    Nice! What is it you shot that bear with? Looks serious. My inlaws live and own land north of Huntsville. Gotta get up to Canada hunting!

    '08 Hunting/harvest report

    I guess what I'm saying is both of these deer were basically the same size, shot at basically the same range in basically the same place. The .243 is .95 grain, the .35 is 200 grain and there was basically no difference in the distance the ran after the shot or more importantly the damage...

    Wish I'd known you were at this stage....I could have sent you some really nice spot weld drills.

    My Rover

    Looks great. I'm really happy you went in this direction. If you need any help with the wiring, let me know. It's really not as complicated as some guys make it out to be.

    '08 Hunting/harvest report

    I guess it's alright. I sighted both my Model 94 Winchester 30-30s and my Marlin 336 35 Rem with it at 100 yards. As said, this last one was shot with .35 Rem and maybe 50 yards. Blew up one lung and she didn't run far. Maybe 100 feet or so? I actually expected her to drop in her tracks but...
