Man oh man. What I would give to be sipping baileys and coffee jiggin whitties on Simcoe this weekend!

I'm gunna do some research on this incident. Regardless of who messed up, it's a sad story

Got a 3 year last year.

Remind me again in 2 years

Might have to check these guys out. Something a little difference for a change.

Thanks for posting Bri.

I've gone out a few times. With a re curve though.

Very hard to hit fish.

PM me with any specific questions. I can forward them to my buddy who has been a bow fishing finatic for a long time. He will know the answer to any questions you have.

Yikes..

$100,000 and their hummer! Serves them right!

131 counts. They dropped 110 of them because they plead guilty to 21.

I wonder what the charge would have been if they nailed them for all 131..

$625,000 and their house?

Nice shots man!

I just dropped 50 bucks at the local gun shop. Got a blueing kit, and 50 rounds.

Gunna do a test fire this weekend.

I might have to order the truoil online. He didn't have any in stock, but recommended I use "Tung Oil" from the hardware store.

This season has been very slow. I haven't made it out nearly as much as I would like. But the reasons for my lack of fishing are all good...

I have some buddies from high school coming up this weekend. Get out on G-Bay one last time on the soft stuff.

I am looking forward to this coming hard water.

I refinished my buddies old single shot 410 that he had since he was a kid. It spent a lot of time behind the seat of his pickup trucks over the years and was pretty beat up.

 

I refinished all the wood with Tru Oil and cleaned up and re-blued the barrel and action. The end result was an old firearm that looked like new!!!

 

My buddy was most impressed and very happy with the result.

What did you use to re-blue the barrel? I was thinking about doing it.

 

Your old 222 has a slower twist rifling than is common today, probably best with bullets in the 40 to 50 grain tops range, if you are handloading for it.

Thanks!

I think I will get in to the hand loading eventually. But for now, I'm just going to go grab a few boxes and see what shots the best.

Very cool man.

There was a big old bass we used to catch time and time again as kids growing up on the Maitland River.

Fine old rifle, give the stock a few coats of Birchwood Casey "TruOil". Hope the bore is still good, I'd give it a cleaning with J-B bore cleaning compound.

The bore is in good shape. Thanks for the tip!

Do you have to apply the truoil every few years? I am assuming it will really bring the natural grain finish out? Water resistant as well?

UPDATE: FINISHED PICS ADDED AT END OF THREAD.

I have been on the market for a good coyote gun for the local dogs. But with a 8 week old boy at home, the budget is on lock down.

My neighbor used to shoot a lot. Re-loaded all his rounds. He worked in a lab with a Bisbee Marksman. He had his Remington 722 .222 Rem. dialed in at 200 yards. Claims you could drive nails with it.

He told me I can use it all i want if I fix it up. Hasn't been fired in 15 years. BUT, it comes with all the re-loading equipment and dies for .222 Rem!

Specs:
Remington Model 722
Chambered for .222 Rem.
Approx 1950 - 1960


This is going to be my Coyote gun. Here's some shots from when he gave it to me a few weeks back. It was sitting in a steel locker in the moist cold area.












Here is about 5 hours in to the restoration. I am almost ready to give the wood a coating. But I don't know what to use. It can't be reflective, or glossy, but needs to be a durable wood finish.


















I am really impressed with the quality of the wood that I found. The old gloss coat was in rough shape. But I bushed and scraped stripper for a few hours.

The barrel was rusted on the outside, to that took a pile of polishing, around 2 hours.

I still have to give is a thorough cleaning and oiling on the inside. Possibly re-blue the barrel, and give the wood a coating.

I'll post up more pics of the fishing product if anyone wants to see it.

Really good way to eat canada goose.!

Sure looks tasty!

I posted this 5 minutes to early. I just got an e-mail from my aunt informing me of some bad news. He didn't make it.

This is my Dad's cousin. He's in rough shape.

I haven't had an update from my Aunt yet, but last she herd, he was not doing good at all.

For those that put their hands together, hopefully you don't mind putting this in the back of your mind. Positive thoughts are strong things.

EDIT - Thanks for reading my post. But I just received notice that Gordon Wagar has passed away in the Hospital after receiveing very serious head injuries.

I'm assuming he got on a rabbit trail, and went for a run?

Hope they find the little guy! I couldn't imagine what I would do if my dog go lost. She's dumb as a stump. Wouldn't last long out there.

Great two peace.

I use the XP for a work camera. They are supposed to be shock and water proof. I've never tested that theory. I had some issues with it yesterday. While taking pictures it had full battery, then I took an HD video, that the dead battery light started flashing. I would suggest a back up battery if you get the XP.

As for the DSLR.. I use a Sony, but would not recommend it. It's a good camera, but the lenses are hard to find for it.

Someone's asking Honey for a snatch block for Christmas !!

I ask for that every Christmas!!

Some good memories there I'm sure!

Nice post

They usually don't tag them in the ass, lol!

pics were to big to put all in one post

Is that a tag? Or is that fish just really excited?

Look around inside the boat for a box full of busted parts.

If he hit something in the water to cause that damage, he likely would not be able to find the bottom end.

If it was a trailering incident, I would think he would have grabbed the rest of the bottom end to scavenge parts.
