I was going to post a photo of my first ever build and can't figure it out. Ideas. Mike G

being the barrel isn't blued I was going to dura coat that. jenvcius that looks awesome. I guess I'll just get some camo paint and experiment. I will do the barrel in dura coat for the durability. I'd like to see some other patterns from some of you all. MIke G

I have a Remington 700 action getting a Douglas HB in 300WM at IT&D. I have a Choate stock it's going on. Gonna Duracoat it and am considering how to do the camo job if I want one. Looking at Coyote Tan for the stock and OD WWII green for the barrel and action. Still wondering if I should...

Like Dogtown I read the treaty. Not to worried about it. An you have to realize the UN's ability to enforce anything. What does bother me is the Twice weekly call from the NRA using the UN treaty as a scare tactic to generate more contributions. I support the NRA and give what I can. I dug...

Anyone of you that read Mitch Rapp novels by Vince Flynn will be sadden to know he died Wednesday of prostate cancer. One hell of an author. If you haven't read any of his work you should try a novel of his. Mike G

Re: Pre-Surgery Routine Had one taken out after it broke so can't help there. I was back at the gym in a couple weeks. No sweat. Surgery is a piece of cake. A ruptured gall bladder is a BITCH! Mike G

Re: Androgel? I've been on the Androgel patchs for years. My doctor prescribed it to help elevate me out of depression. It helped. Now the insurance says it won't pay for them. My doc said come in once a week and I'll just give you a shot o "T". Been doing that and it works waaaay better...

Re: working out with sandbags I pick mine up and to a straight arm overhead position then slam them down as hard as I can immediately pick it up then throw it until I can't pick it up again. Three sets and I'm goodl. Mike g

Re: Opinions of what will happen. Luckly I'm a 1000 deep on large rifle match primers and 168 BTHP

Re: Opinions of what will happen. I'm running a bit nervous. Hopefully something will take some of the heat off us. As I said in my most Markie (not real name) is planning on burying some of his shit and marking it with a gps in his deer hunting land. I'm HOPING that isn't what it will...
