Bolted on I-beams are kinda gucci. A real redneck straps on a couple of used railroad ties. 4010 should get a good workout.

A few years back when the last of the cows were sold, we looked into crp. We were told the ground needed to be cropped 3 out of 5 years. We had it in grass or alfalfa for 30 years. They told me I had to burn it down and plant row crops for 3 years. I found myself speechless and walked out of the...

Good idea Zeb. Quick check on the internet later, Midwest has the stock listed for $250.

You mentioned the scratches. When you remove the finish, get in those divots with a tooth brush and really clean out the old stuff. That's part of the reason they show up so clear. Next you need to raise the grain in the scratches. I always used a iron and a damp rag. Place the rag on the...

Our lab picks them upon his own time. Hide a couple in the grass and try it.

Now I have to dig out my Gene Hill books.

I had Simmons do 2 M12s for me back in the 80s. Ribs and blue. Always quality work. What struck me on the 720 was the sharpness of the engraving. Sometimes that gets lost on the redo.

Agreed, I have that on the old mans model 12. Really adds something.

Great job. Is the bluing on the 720 original? Now you have me thinking about my grandfathers model 11.

Good friends plant 2 or 3 quarters every year. In the fall they swath it for late season grazing. When the Canadian geese find it they call us into action. Most times the birds will be back in a day or two after being hunted.

Dog walk this morning. Lab flushed a mother turkey and 6 little ones out of the soybeans. They were about softball size and still light colored. Not very good at flying yet. Dog and I were both wide awake after that.

My wife used to have a candy business. When she hung it up she kept some of the equipment. Every year at Christmas time, everyone who granted us permission gets a box of homemade candy. They might not remember us, but they always remember the candy.

Thanks AK. We will put that one in the rotation this fall.

My wife shoots 3 inch #5 and does very well. But back in the day my old man shot lots of ducks with a original 870 and 1 ounce of #6. He never complained about being under gunned. I still have the 870. Also some of the paper super x hulls. Enjoy your new gun.

3 years ago. All they had to do was swap the dura touch out for black plastic.

My Maxus is basic black so it was a simple fix. Got it back in about a month.
