A little over 2 months ago picked up a Gamo Whisper Pro Elite from the Bargain Cave at Cabelas for $169. I got it help me address a pest control issue Im having. To say Im impressed with this thing is an understatement. Its very powerful and super accurate Dime sized groups at 30 feet (which is...
This cover was made for hunting purposes. We hunt public land and need bed security. Likewise our hunting gear needs protection from the elements. It was created because I am a hunter and need for hunting trips. Its perhaps the most hunting related item we have made in some time.
Im unable to update the original thread so im starting this one to show the completed cover and additional steps to address the many PM's im getting asking for more info on the project.
After penciling the outline, it was time to paint.
One down, one to go.
While the primary...
The painting is complete so its time to fill in the blank slate
We want to paint our Black Claw logo on the rear-most section of the bed cover. But we may also add the Stay Sharp logo to one of the other sections.
To do this we need to project the Black Claw logo as a very large image (5...
For our hunting and camping trips and because we will be attending more and more sports shows selling our bow holders and broadhead sharpening guides , we need a bit more security in the long bed of our truck (8 foot bed). We looked at tonneau covers and didn't care for the fabric versions as...
Yesterday, my son and I were doing testing on a new type of arrow fletching we are designing when another round of smelly field carp (former arrow fletching donator) interrupted the testing.
I grabbed the camera still attached to the tripod and got in their face to run them off before they...
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. ;-)
Im making a new set of single bevel broadheads the upcoming WI bear hunt. The main blade will be made from a 7 1/4" circular saw blade and aluminum broadhead adapters. Since they are aluminum I can use a micro saw and a Dremmel tool to cut the slots.
Then it was back to the...
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.
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.
The once “silver” bolt knob.
The trigger guard and bottom plate really look nice in black. All that time spent at the buffing wheel really paid off.
The stock ended up with a candy apple gloss that I didn’t care for. It as a bit “too shiny”. Using 0000 steel wool and paste wax and...
Having sawn away the butt plate holes, I need to add new holes at the location of the new recoil pad.
The pad has one white stripe but Im adding another by using an old plastic 3-ring binder.
The pad is purchased over-sized and needs to be sanded to fit the stock and the slope of...
Now you have good understanding of what I’m dealing with. Little to no finish and little to no bluing and a few dents and dings and 50+ years of old oil and crud.
I wanted to bed the stock in the location of the barrel lug so the barrel would float above the stock. Over years of tightening...
The Remington Model 721 was first made in 1948 and had a production run of only 14 years but it really is a fantastic rifle.
This particular 721 is chambered in 30-06 and was made in 1957 and like most rifles has an interesting tale. This one however could be called the “Lazarus”...
My wife says I have a hoarding problem so I brought together most (but not all) of my razorheads. She might be right.
Here is the patent doc.
