If anyone had any remaining inkling that the Nobel Peace Prize had any meaning, this should stick a fork in that notion.

When you lose your hair, it sometimes leaves stragglers, little reminders of “this is where your hairline OUGHT to be”. I haven’t had one of those ina while, but the other day I noticed a thin wisp of hair, a clump of two or three fine hairs, fully two inches down from my current hairline.

Thanks, Mother Nature.

Bitch.

Finished mods to the carriage/cartridge lifter, the marlin feeds and ejects properly. Did a little strengthening to the buttstock as well. Have to get a stainless tea-strainer to blue the screws and small parts, but it’ll be OK. I’m pumped. Maybe blue this weekend.

The receiver is OK looking but not great. A decent blue will exacerbate the flaws, so I’m gonna give it a matte sandblast finish. Have to remember to get some glass bead media.
