    DIY folding hard top tonneau cover for pickup truck bed

    Bear hunt blade

    Bear wont give a hoot about the color of the broadhead. Their eyesight sucks. Besides, the bear will only get a head on view and it will be spinning and traveling towards him very quickly. ;-)

    Bear hunt blade

    Restoring my dad's Remington 721

    Saturday Afternoon I returned the 721 to my Father. He is a man of few words. He twisted it and turned it and smiled and said "It looks like new. It looks better than when I first got it." Now he need only sight it in and go get a deer with it.

    Restoring my dad's Remington 721

    I cant say who blued it. My oldest son's father-in-law knows a guy who knows a guy. I got it my son's Father-in-law and he took it from their. He and his partner in the gun world use this guy for bluing. All I know is that he is an elderly gent that only does bluing in the summer.
