"After you", so that you can tell your wife/gf/side chick that you named it after her.

Grampy, very nice way to mount a Euro head. Is there a story behind the little truck tires?

Wolc123- Just finished some glumpkis. I made half the rolled up way and half as Polish Lasagna. Polish Lasagna is alternating layers of steamed cabbage with another layer of steamed rice and spiced burger. cover the last layer with crushed tomatoes and pasta sauce and pop it in the oven

Lots of good input here. sbuff- the primer holder is a orange plastic device that is unique to the earlier Knight Disc Rifles. I might try the teflon tape, but the butt plug grease doesn't seem to be blown out. The knight has a long thread on the beech plug. I think, as bowman might said, that most of the crap comes out of the primer firing channel.

Wolc123- the problem is that there is blowback around the primer holder that lets burnt residue to get in the bolt and trigger mechanism of the gun. The bore is not much of a problem, nor is the breech plug. I may try blackhorn to see if it consistently fires and has minimal corrosin.

what rob said.

hueyjazz- Does it require a different breech plug? the Knight disc uses 209 primers in a retainer. And I am using CCI sporting clay primers, which are pretty hot.

I have been considering switching to Blackhorn powder. I'm primarily using a Knight Disc Rifle in .50 caliber with two triple seven pellets and 250 grain shockwave pellets in a sabot. Shoots quite well. Only problem is my gun is a pain in the butt to clean. Whether one shot or 20, it takes about a hour to get it totally clean. And while it is stainless, it still will get some surface rust w/o cleaning. I've read that Blackhorn is very non-corrosive. like you can shoot it one day and not have to clean it for several days. Truth or fiction? I would like to just be able to just swab out the bore and reload the gun.

ncountry- see that you read Elinkas book "A Deer Hunters History Book". He has 9 other books out and I have enjoyed all of them. Most are focused on the ADK's, but one is about his time in Alaska, one about tughill and one about the Southern Tier. I know a lot of the folks in these books and that makes it more interesting to me, but any deer hunter would enjoy these.

Another book that is fascinating is about NY's own long hunters. It is called "Adirondack Deer Trackers - Stories as told in Deer Camp". It is a bunch of stories with photos by Joe DiNitto, Steve Grabowski, Jim Masset, and Dave Williams. These are guys that go into the Forest Preserve, find a big buck track, trail it, and shoot it in its tracks. They are similar to The Benoits (of VT.) and Hal Blood (from Maine). I know these guys, and they are the real deal. Mostly in the western side of the Adks.

prayers sent. Hope he beats the covid and his other ailments.

Luberhill - I usually hold the bottom down with a 2-4 oz. pyramid or other saltwater sinkers. Pulls out of the way to get by, but doesn't blow in the wind.

very nice. is it a good shooter?

The shows I looked at last night, were showing a lot of Amazon packages. Are they going to have to route these trains around the inner city? Or possibly use truckers to get them to where they are going.

The War Room (Steve Bannon) and Tucker Carlson had this on Yesterday. Disgusting BS happening in another Blue City.

I have a 12 gauge Deerslayer that I used for years, bought a rifled 870, then a rifled Mossberg 695 12 gauge. Used the 695 for a couple of years, and then rifles became legal in the southern tier areas I hunted. Never really felt hampered by having to use slug guns, as most of my southern deer have been shot under 70 yards. Our group always held a yearly contest that allowed folks to use all the legal weapons for all the different seasons, including shotguns since no one wanted to embarrass themselves, they usually sighted in and practiced with their slug guns.

hoping they work well for you. I use reading glasses and they are a annoyance.

If there is significant proof and not just innuendo and rumors, it should not take 5 years to develop a case. Hope they make this into a "true crime", made for TV show.

nice work

if this is your first sewing project, you did a super job!

I usually ask the neighbors.

My experiences: I have a couple, and numerous covered ground blinds. On the best one I used two sections of scaffolding, and then pipe above that. I used pressure treated landscape posts as a floor. framed the cabin with pressure treated 2x4'. Used scavenged metal roofing attached with roofing screws. Windows are plexiglass, and hinged at the top. They swing open and a attached prop holds them in place. I have them so that they are slightly tilted down to 1) eliminate glare/reflection and 2)so the rain/snow slides off. I originally had a ladder but one of my buddies got so he could not climb. So I built pressure treated steps, keeping a shallow angle. This year I put a second handrail on it. I put in a swing out urinal (hey I'm a old guy) that runs via hose to a buried 5 gallon bucket cess-pool. When I put on the corrugated metal roof, I made it with the center removable for maintenance. I originally just put up the platform, with a popup blind on it and used it for 3 years to make sure it was where I wanted it, because when it was built out, there is no moving it. Oh, and I used guy wires to stabilize it because it just sits on the p.t. beams on the ground. I put in a moveable shooting rest that consists of a 2x2 covered with pipe insulation. Inside dimensions are 5' by 8'. I covered the floor with foam and painted the inside flat black. I have black window curtains to reduce the amount of light in the cabin,

As a suggestion: Find the general area that you wish to hunt. Take a ride and look for good areas. Use Onyx to find good looking properties that are not posted and have non-resident owners without camps on their properties. try a phone call to the promising ones. If liability comes up, ensure them that you would be getting insurance to cover the landowner.

finger covers (i.e. finger cots) from the pharmacy work well.

Here's my solution, after years of experimenting. This is still a work in progress, but it has worked well so far. I use 3M Tegaderm Film from the pharmacy. It is a adhesive (one side) plastic film that is is somewhat stretchy. I put a piece over the muzzle, and trim the excess. Waterproof and stays on well. When shot through, usually blows the piece off although occasionally it just punches a hole through. Can not see that it changes the point-of-impact. Instead of balloons or condoms, I used to use Walmart Finger covers (also called finger cots. Look like miniature prophylactics.
