We also use the boat cooler, skinned and quartered deer and the cooler filled with ice, plug pulled method here. Refill the ice to the top daily. Deer rests for a week, in the ice cold, draining water. Meat turns a light pinkish color with the blood gone. Process and package.

For many people heavy recoil is a very real obstacle. I was a Range Master for over 40 years and saw many folks that could not tolerate heavy recoil. Unless there is a reason to do otherwise it is best to concentrate on becoming proficient with a comfortable cartridge or gun. A problem with...

FL has a simple vermin hunting process, any gun, any sight, night or day, except parks and preserves. Yotes and wild hogs are vermin. I carry a 6mm Mongoose on the farm and am working on a new 24 GPC for the Thor 4. This is the last yote that came across the back, took an 80gr at 75 yards from...

By Fed Law you can not ship and auto, so. Just go to a show and find an auto dealer, look at the models and buy according to your desires and needs. Make sure you get a locking blade, with a serrated hump for your thumb. Last couple decades I have only bought half serrated blades, work well for...

I saw the huge sun burst display of engraved flat gates at the NRA Show, put up by the Association members. I made pictures of the display but many of my pictures, disappeared with two hard drive crashes on two successive PCs over the years, funny, not, how that works.

Take a look for BP supplies before you jump. Pyrodex when burned is as corrosive as BP, but slower in combustion. The Knight has been a staple in the inline BP guns, but many states have now gone to “Traditional” seasons. Using cartridge guns with exposed hammers. Traditional season, makes the...

This my Full Size 1911, Pin Gun. That is a 252 grain flat point.

I have been a 1911 armorer since 1964. A 1911 should feed a clip full of empty brass without a hiccup. In other words it should feed any loaded round, start to finish in every clip, fitted to the gun. Please, get your gun and magazine setup properly by someone that knows how to set up a combat...

This is my first old model Single Six, a convertible, 6 1/2 gun. I has had a lot of ammo put through it. It is a transition gun, small serial numbers with an aluminum ejection rod cover. I bought the little revolver, new, for $69.00 from Dick Riley of Hokseltt, New Hampshire in 1961 for my own...

Actually it is an old Para Ord LDA that I built, for myself. Re cut the dovetails, added a S&A mag well, safety, match barrel, two piece rod, engine turned hood, refinished, tuned mags that feed empty brass, stabilized Vietnam water buffalo bone engraved grips, engraved grip screws.

I guess I was supposed to leave a picture or two, excuse the lapse. This is the open carry retirement gift. Missing from the picture is the mag pouch engraved with Halo wings and the belt with his 13 country’s wings engraved. The belt’s center “wings” is a very rare presentation Greek CRO...

The SS Commander makes a good close combat handgun, it is not a target model. With a little bit of refinish work they have enough flat space for a good engraving job. I have done a couple of these as military Spl Ops retirement gifts. Ed

That was what I was looking for. Do you happen to know what was done to overcome the grip safety to firing pin block, say like the Colt 80 to 70 conversion plate? Or perhaps if the trigger in the SR is not effected unlike the Colt, the conversion is not necessary? Thanks for the info, Ed

I had to setup a new account reason for first post. Was an RCA member since 75. I just bought a commander as a promotion, presentation / project gun. Been building 1911s since 65. I am not going to start the project unless I can use standard parts. Do you know how many items that you added to...
