Metalworking Hunttalkers!
The journey for my 10 year old and I continues. We got some 1095 flat stock and designed and ground out three knives (he wanted a sword so we settled on a dagger). Learning a lot in the process and getting a little better each time. We also made a trident to see how the forge and anvil/ hammer...- GoGriz

Metalworking Hunttalkers!
Not sure on the answer to your question 100% but you could try the file test (run a file along the back edge and if it catches its soft and needs a heat treat, if it skips along the edge without grabbing or digging in then it’s likely hard enough). You could also do some cutting with it and see...- GoGriz

I am an Idiot - Need Help with Rust
I am not smart. I had two barrels that I took from their happy home (in a basement in a state without humidity) and I put them in the closet of a different house with a ton of humidity with the idea I would send them off to get threaded ASAP. Fast forward four months and I finally get around to... -
Metalworking Hunttalkers!
My 10 year old and I decided to learn to make knives together. We started out buying pre-finished blanks and adding handles. For Christmas/ his birthday we got a basic blacksmithing setup with a forge so we can heat treat blades. We got some solid stock bar and ground our blades out of our own...- GoGriz

I’m going with a slow 1st half and the Griz out adjusting the Cats at half time. Fina score Griz 28-24. Either way this should be a hell of a game!- GoGriz

Cat/Griz 2025 edition
Go Griz!!! I think the Cats have the edge coming into the game but at least from what I can remember, it seems that this game can always go either way despite the Team’s records and play leading up to it. Should be a great day of College football either way!- GoGriz

SW Montana Barrel Threading
Does anyone have a lead on a gunsmith in SW Montana that will thread up a couple of barrels on short notice? I might just send them off as it seems easiest, but I thought I would ask incase someone has a great local lead. -
Hunting Rifle LOP
Some of the stocks I need to lengthen by almost an 1-1/2”. I was looking at some of the Boyd’s stuff, but there are some mixed reviews out there. I might just pull the trigger on one and see for myself. -
Hunting Rifle LOP
I have two howa 1500 short actions and a Remington 700 long action to start (and a few shotguns and other rifles to follow). For the dollar limit I would like to keep it under $500 per gun, but the lower I can figure out a solution, the more guns I can dial in to my exact LOP (at least that’s... -
Hunting Rifle LOP
In the past I have always shot whatever rifle or shotgun was around, and have always made it work. I am finally getting around to upgrading various rifles (and then shotguns), and I am trying to figure out what options there are to increase LOP. There seem to be a few options for adjustable... -
Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment
Is it crazy to try to build on the recent publicity around this and to try to get bi-partisan legislation passed to stop any future sale or EO from bringing this up anytime soon? Make each Senator go on the record and everyone in the house before the next election cycle?- GoGriz
