Spend my Bonus - Part Deux
Essentially since it’s a used barrel, I’m going to see how it shoots first. I might be dumb to pull it apart again later to have it threaded but I just don’t want to invest much in this barrel I’m starting to regret buying. -

Spend my Bonus - Part Deux
Currently putting lipstick on my pig of a .223. Different brand but swapping a used-heavier, fluted barrel on it. I’m getting excited. I took it to my machine shop just to chase the receiver threads out as the previous owner kinda hacked it. Shop owner asked if I wanted the other end of my... -

Sounds like you’ve got need for plenty of traps. Might as well try them! Stake them good and I doubt groundhogs will give you a run.- Jbotto

With it twisted properly, the only thing that isn’t modern about the .22-250 is the case. Scorch the perfectly good barrel and do something different with the next one. #1 for me with these options. -

Trapping Thread 2024/2025
I don’t think there is much you cant catch in a 1.5 coil spring. But time in the trap and how it’s staked is going to play a big factor in holding it. That said, no experience with the Duke 1.5, but I can’t think a groundhog is going to test any trap that size all that bad.- Jbotto

Judging by the smile on his face, I’d say it’ll be a long time before he parts with that. -

Fiberglass Truck Topper
This was in 2018 for my 2004. I still would have liked it cheaper. Haha- Jbotto

Fiberglass Truck Topper
Leer for me. Bought it second hand. Paid a bit more than I wanted to at $500 but it even matched the color so I figured it was worth. It’s worked well for me.- Jbotto

Yes, at least I did. They are a pre-order though just a heads up. -

Building your own stock
Yeah the stock isn’t great. My rifle was my first firearm growing up so I have lots of nostalgia around it, but it’s kind of a basket case. Dovetail groove in the receiver wasn’t cut deep enough to have the 3/8” dovetail rings grab very well and the scope base holes were drilled crooked so when... -

I have a 981T that I’ve always thought about finding a 780/880series stock that might be able to be converted. Following!
