Chuck, why don't you tell us what you do like, (or post a photo) instead of taking a steaming shit all over everyone else's ideas?

Happy New Year.

Constructive criticism and differences of opinion are what make this forum interesting. Personal preferences and opinions expressed as absolute truths don't help anything...


My bad. I thought we were building this rifle for Chuck. Wink


My apologies. I've never known Idaho Sshooter to turn up his nose at anyone else's choice of rifle blueprint.

Joking aside, on my part anyway.
My best friend loves old German rifles, the more gadgets and "stuff" on them the better. He has a break open single shot 9.3x74 made for Kaiser Wilhelm that has so many add-ons it does everything but give you oral sex.
I look at a Rigby in .275 he has and see the beauty of simplicity.
It's just a matter of what appeals to the individual.
It's also why when I go to help him build or repair something, I say " you go build a jig, while I get this done".

That post was only in good humor.

They come in sorta handy if you want to want to carry your rifle lower by attaching the front sling forward of the end of the stock. But then I guess you might consider a sling useless, ugly extra weight too?


A sling does in part become useless when attached to the barrel.


Yes they have application. But I have shot some pretty big thumpers with sling swivel studs attached to for ends. They were built by guys that actually hunt and shoot so they knew where to put them.

Perhaps, but I watched a gentleman shoot my old Ruger 77 in 458 Win Mag, and the third shot, that sling swivel recoiled back across his index finger and removed a 45 caliber strip of skin. He bled like a stuck hog, and ended up at the ER for about a dozen stitches.

Since then, barrel band is my choice. My old gunsmith showed me how to make them, and barrel band front sights as well.

Yes they have their place as I've stated already. But that doesn't make them a necessity on every custom rifle.

If I'm hunting through brush, the rifle is in my hands, with the sling off. It makes no difference if it's Africa, alaska or in the back of my own property.

Wow, Talk about thread drift!! Confused I thought this was about a fellow thinking about adding a cartridge trap to a custom gun he was building?

Damn nice place!

I love Alberta!

You will never see Rich post a photo of anything.

There was a void between the time he didn't spend in Vietnam and his assent to old bitchy man with a cane that has been lost the annuls of history forever.

I refer to this period as the time Rich was abducted by aliens, and heavily probed.

I've been looking at your posts Chucky, and for the life of me I can't find where you have contributed anything positive to the discussion.

A normal person would have some evidence based on anecdotal experience to lend support to their expressed opinion.

We do not even know if you are an adult, or some Jr High student enjoying some attention from the adults. How about sharing a few pictures with your rifles and some big game harvested...?

Care to share pictures of your rifles, or results of your trips to Africa or elsewhere with us?

For an example:

I want barrel band sling swivels on all of my rifles for two reasons.

1. the 458 story I related.
2. they allow you to position the muzzle 6-8 inches lower when carrying the rifle hunting. The three trips I have made to Africa I found moving thru the jess easier, as well as the transition from the sling to shouldering the rifle much easier and faster.

Have you formulated a differing opinion based on your hunting trips outside the Great Frozen North?

I would expect that you have made a few, based on your intrusion into a DGR thread.

You do have some DGR rifles, correct?

take care,

Rich


Where did you go Rich?

You have some great looking mounts Chuck!

I am thinking the most accurate post in this whole thread is from M4220 when he says this has "thread drift"ed.

In my opinion way to much pissers

I have deleted my earlier post

Chuck,

you have my apology. I posted pictures of my three trips to Africa when I got back, and of my trophies when they came back from the taxidermists. They're here somewhere in the Africa forums.

Don't pay too much attention to big wonderful wyoming, the Kalifornia resident. He considers himself some sort of wonderful.

I am still curious though, why the aversion to the custom add ons.

Rich

IMO they detract from the rifle, add unnecessary weight, and really, in most cases, serve no real beneficial function.

All these years I thought that covered hole in back of my M14 was for the cleaning kit. shocker

Why in tarnation have I been carrying extra magazines when I could have just stuck a few rounds in that hole. dancing
