Okay, guys, what the heck is EDC ? I'm not tacticool enough, I guess. Me neither! :?: :roll: It means "every day carry". To put in another perspective, when doing a survival exercise, it is a standard that only what you have on your person "Every Day" is allowed to be used. That...

The power of the internet. Oh, if I could have had this much information as a teen in the 70's. I'd have become an archaeologist and lived my life on some dig somewhere. To uncover some truth to some legend and give that much more to the picture of history and prove the haters wrong. That is honorab...

Well Buck you win again I reckon!!! It did say caliber 1873. BUT, it seems to me the Winchester 1873 was also chambered in 38-40, 32wcf, and 22 rimfire. As I understand it, the 1873 Winchester shot a cartridge called "Model of 1873" until the 38WCF came out around 1880 or so. It was after...

Take a guess.. Which cartridge was introduced with that rifle..?

Well that would be the "Model of 1873", of course....

Bringing an update. The heater is pretty much done and is working great. I'll get more data when the temp drops and I can burn for effect. For now here is a video from a month ago or so. hope this works.

Some months ago I started work on an innovative heating system in the garage. I took out my trusty wood stove and built what is called a rocket stove with a thermal mass heater. Wood is the fuel but this stove will give much cleaner exhaust. It doesn't smolder like a conventional wood stove but inst...

I found a rock. It is about the size of a baseball and is rusty brown colored. It is heavier than your common rock. It appears to be metal but a magnet does not attract to it.

Just as a side note. If your 303 Savage brass get damaged, don't throw them away. They can be cut down for 44 Evans. Just a helpful hint from your Uncle Gobbler.

It used an Amal Monoblock carb and it already has a Lucas magneto unless yours is missing. The permanent magnet alternator is on the LH end of the crank and supplies current for charging the battery and lighting only (should be 6V). The engine will run fine without the battery and charging system a...

Gobbler, Does it use a single carb? If so, I have a Mikuni that would probably work and if I knew the size and shape of the cap I have a bunch of stuff that might be cobbled into working. Then too, I have a bunch of old magnetos. It's stuff I'll never live long enough to use so you'd be welcome to ...
