Morning guys!

Got the day off, so I started early this morning working on my new rifle stock. Needed to modify the inletting so my aftermarket trigger fit in there as well as open up the barrel channel a bit to give the .040" clearance away from the barrel as that's the amount I think looks right. Got it fitting pretty good now. Fits snug and everything lines up nicely.

I think I'm going just mount the scope and leave it right now, work up a good load for it and worry about sandblasting and coating this winter after the hunting trip.

I do inletting the old school way, sharp chisels and lots of test fitting. I don't have a vise to clamp the stock and use end mills.

New barrel is nearly 3 inches longer, should get me just about 100 fps more velocity.

Hope this thing shoots good, as much work as I have put into it over the last decade... but being built in October 1918, I'm not going to give up on it, it deserves it!

X - please remind me that I don't have the budget for a vintage Winchester 52D with redfield target peep sights and a period Unertl scope. Because it's really tempting.


Allo DFK'ers. Hope all is well.
 
Maybe not a vintage winny but how about a Kimber 82 or Mossberg 144 surplus?! You're in a place you can get those easily now... :D

And it's now functional! Excuse the blue tape over the foam, I do that to figure out how much elevation I need to add to the stock with a cheek rest. I need 7/8" rise for this one, a 1" slip on tactical riser will work perfectly. Metal needs to be coated, but that's just cosmetic. Scope leveled and bore sighted, should be on paper at 100 yards from the first shot.

Getting excited about this gun again!

Xander that is looking good!!! Nice work!

My internet is jacked... must fix soon! We had a bad storm and I guess that is it. I was really hoping to get those Backpackers up today!
 
Hey guys! Get ready for a big week!

New computer so I google my name... still a negative thread pops up high here and it is the first thing I notice on Google! If you guys want I would highly appreciate a positive feedback thread started here in the Good Bad and Ugly... it would really be cool and all I want is for people to know the truth about my company.

Rolf the negativity was immediately worked out on both sides and I'm not worried about that... just the google search results. It wasn't even a big thing but pops up because of the way search engines work. PM sent
 
Daniel, it's a good chance that the Google results you see are different then what other people see. If it's what I'm thinking about, I'd understand why it'd show up on your search. It does not show up on mine.
 
I mailed you about that ano too... it really is a mystery as to nailing that stuff but I bet your power supply is the key. Try some phosphate free tsp too, it works especially best with spiders in the solution. :D
 
Yeah I think I have a few moths just floating about. I'll try it around 27 and see how that turns out. I think I started around 34 which may have been too much. It was very light.
 
Happy Monday fellas!

Did some figgerin' yesterday and now have a way to (legally) avoid registering my AR15s as Assault Weapons come January 1. CA laws have gotten really bad... best part is I do not have to permanently alter my guns, so I preserve the value.

Make it great!

Yo, D... I checked the google too and nothing but good for 4 pages.
Day off....going to work anyways... :rolleyes: my choice though, I have a few things to finish up so I can relax without worrying about undone things.
bikes bikes BIIIIIKES!!!! :eek:
 
I too did a google search "Daniel Fairly Knives" and the first page is all good... your forum main page comes up, sales threads, sales sites, and pics...

Hope all goes well, our siding project is coming to an end this week! Paint on Thursday... 2 weeks of BANG BANG BANG... not good bangs either..

Hot week, YES! enjoy!
