Global warming. Have eaten the first tomato, but I got them in late, so I’m not surprised.

Fun mowing. The old pole next door probably didn’t plan to mow until I did, then his wife, no doubt, said “Og is mowing! Go mow, you lazy old man” If looks could kill I’d be fucked up now.

and been most disappointed by the offering of commercially available snap caps for the 500 nitro. The mfr says never to dry fire, and of course I never do anyway, but I wasn’t abut to even entertain pulling the trigger without the caps.

And I can’t find crap. Most of what I can find, IS crap, and everyone who has what I want is out of stock.

So I thought, I have a couple million dollars worth of machine tools at my disposal, why not make them myself?

Here’s the lot.

I machined the contour in the CNC and then left the shock absorber to the manual lathe. I drilled #7 and tapped 1/4-20 for nylon screws per Ironhand’s suggestion.

Hope to finish and test tonight.

Used, vintage shotgun/rifle cases for sale on Ebay.

here’s another

And another

These flat out sicken me. I mean make me physically ill.

the fact that these cases are on the market means that the fine, handcrafted and wonderful firearms they once protected have been confiscated or worse. the worse is too horrible to mention. JW Tolley. Charles Lancaster. PURDEY.

if it isn’t a sacrilege to destroy a Purdey it damned well ought to be.
