    Boyds gun stocks

    I bought a factory second Boyd’s, for a Savage 110,with a dent on the comb called out. Thought it was no big deal. Bedded it and it seemed to shoot ok. One day I found the action screw loose, so I tightened it and it was like I never could get it solid. Turned out the stock had delaminated or...

    Favorite EDC...what'cha got

    My previous post shows the Ontario Rat2. Handy little knife, not sure why they aren’t more popular! Rat1 is kind of a chunky size for a pocket folder but the Rat2 is a bit small for my hands. They came out with an in between as a Rat1.5 that I’ve been meaning to grab. Check them out and try one!

    Trapping Thread 2025/2026

    I haven’t been on HT much lately in the last couple weeks. Caught up with this thread! You all are doing well getting after them! Sorry about all the “Likes” 🤣 Hoping to do a little more trapping in the next month before we start guarding around the garden/chicken coop.

    Favorite EDC...what'cha got

    I flip between a few different knivea but this is today. Pretty typical for work. I love my Spyderco Endura4 but the Byrd CaraCara2 is much cheaper if I lose it at work. Same size and similar feel. I like the lockbacks more and more because I can open them and close them easily with gloves on...

    Favorite EDC...what'cha got

    I used to carry a few half serrated cheapies. Never felt like I had enough plain edge to be useful and most of the serrations sucked. Plus both parts were a pain to sharpen. Went to a plain edge always now that I can actually sharpen and won’t ever go back.

    Another tikka tinkering project

    A true pipeliner would have figured out how to use hammer union for a barrel retention nut. 🤣

    The gun I wish I hadn't sold

    4” barrel will make my hands look bigger. Actually, I just have kind of settled on 3”-4” revolvers because they are handier for me to have on my belt. The 5.5” is my dream Redhawk that I wanted since I was a teenager. Bought one in my late twenties and just wish I had bought the 4” after...

    The gun I wish I hadn't sold

    I have two I regret. Both cheap but could have been useful to me. One was a youth 20ga H&R pardner with maybe a 22” barrel. I got it in a trade for a Marlin 60 and it wouldn’t fire. Gunsmith got it working for me for $100 and I sold it in college for $100. The other was a Remington Sportsman...

    The gun I wish I hadn't sold

    I’ve told you, you can have my 5.5” Redhawk if you trade me for a 4” model!

    Trapping Thread 2025/2026

    I have about half Dukes, and half NO-BS. Haven’t even scratched the paint of the NO-BS DP’s yet. Dukes have been working good for me, though some of their chains/swivels seem weaker or thinner than should be. Those are pretty easy and cheap to replace though.

    Trapping Thread 2025/2026

    Dang, I forgot about how many states hate snaring. Man, snaring rabbits in the snow is so much fun. Snow, shelter belts, and brush piles make snaring rabbits almost like a grocery run!

    I have just been running a few 220 buckets lately. Slow going, but caught a good one today.
