Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

no pictures....yet.....but she has been shaped down drastically since these photos....S K I N N Y as Karen Carpenter on a diet...........and I did a special in-the-barrel front sight.....not dovetailed.... yup, i know....no way to adjust windage.....but these ARE Kentucky rifles????...so, use 'kentucky windage'!!! :jmp:

pictures soon...........the RR is being worked down.....takes about 3hrs work to make one.....you start with a fat piece of hickory....and shave shave shave......so you have a slight taper, and 'bulb' end.....
