Today’s post is about a series of rifles that I have read about but never had the opportunity to look at until just recently. I thank Reed Knight for letting me have the chance to examine the rifle when I was down at his place a while back.

So lets start with a short write […]

New lights were installed over the HAAS and Sharps machining centers.

Installed one over the cnc lathe.

I spent time working on the […]
