Just got a 2nd gun. Planning on a new set for it as well. Likely will go more figured wood. Now that I have a feel for the madness.

Not sure. I shot a ton with it this weekend, and never noticed a difference. Not this fall anyway. Maybe this winter.

Done deal.

All but done. On the oil finish. Hand rubbed tru oil only. Here is 6 coats dry. All glass bedded. A few more coats, and time to shoot. Last couple photos are the 6th coat dry. 8 to go. 👍

Made a little progress today. Almost home. But have to walk away a bit again.

Not sure what oil yet. I like wet sanded in boiled linseed oil, but it takes a long time and work. Either that or true oil. Plus a little wax buffed on after. So I can wet sand any dings etc for years to come. I walked away from it for a bit. I will likely get back at it next week. I have the...

True, I meant the 1500's.Copper coated Federal upland. Used to be the pheasants forever boxes, now marked upland, and new wads. These new ones shoot a tad softer for us in trials. But good luck finding them at an affordable price. I am lucky to still have 5 cases of the old ones.

Found Sho-me stocks in MO for the duplicate. They come pretty rough. Could not find a inletter/finisher that was not backed up a year or more. So I started it myself. It is coming along. Have to walk away for a few days here and there LOL. Very tedious venture. Wetted down a tad with water you...

Federal premiums are awesome. But I did find out some guns do not like them. I shot trials with a FAIR gun for years lights out. Killers. My gun was tired after 10 years of heavy abuse, training, hunting, shooting trials. I went to buy a new one, no imports anymore. So I bought 3 Beretta 5,000$...

We have one boy available. 11 days old. Black and white. And all are nice sized, good looking pups. He will be one of these 4.

FC AFC Absolutes Brutus Maximus x Blue River's Section C. 2 males available, born 6/15/2022. I have judged field trials all over the USA, and some dogs I run in to stand out as the best of the breed in my honest opinion. Maxx is one of those dogs. I seen his talent shooting over him the...

I hear ya. I got lucky with the buy above. Some 11.85 a box, the other half 12.99. Should be 10, but I was happy.

Yes. Many retail stores stopped selling online because they cant keep up. Scheels, Runnings etc. Gotta go in.

My blanks showed up.

It turns in to a mess, trust me. I did this 10 years ago, and now it is a jungle, which several are falling now. If your looking for the impenetrable jungle, then its great. But it does keep growing, basically in to trees. Just not the structure to stand for lifetimes... I will be cleaning up my...

No need to buy any treats. Just put a handful of your dog food in your pocket, and give a few kernels of that. Works just fine, and not an add on gut rot that many treats can be. Simple, and they love it just as much. Costs you nothing in addition...

Good topic. I have the dogs I do because the way I hunt, and my location, etc. Leads me to believe they are the most versatile breed for me. My 4x4 bird dog. I have had labs, and pointers over the many years. And all have faded away long ago. I fell in love with my dog of choice. Since then I...

They have gone nuts on price, and have a whole bunch of unhappy people as of late. So I ruled them out. By nuts on price, I really mean nuts LOL. Thanks though. I am sure someone will turn up.

Anyone know a good stock duplicator??? I want a set made for a new gun I bought, out of this Turkish Walnut set I bought. Someone good, yet reasonable? Thanks

Well, grab a gun and sportsman's guide. But, bad news. Both places went up 3 bucks a box right after I bought them... So not a great deal anymore. We needed them for our field trials, and I will be shooting on a national am cocker team this fall. So they will get used up. I have shot several...
