Takin it down..

Nasty little cut from what ..only Shaun knows..

[targa911S]

[Seahawk]

Shaun, I am the type of guy who will help you out of this jam.

I don't think Dave can fix it.

Sell it to me.

Do it now

Good to see you on the bench, Dave. Makes me smile.

[Superman]

That's right. Get back to work, Dave.

[targa911S]

Well guys nobody is happier to be back on the bench than I ...that's for sure. Besides I bought yet another bass, soooo back to work I go.

Up next two nice SXS's from Henry.

[vash]

glad you are feeling much better!

Are you just doing a general going through and clean up or is there something in particular that needs done?

Nope, nothing special. Just a good deep cleaning, touch up the bluing, fix the wood kind of job.

[Joeaksa]

Will be getting you a package out by weeks end or so...

Good to see you back in the saddle!

[targa911S]

Hey Joe when are sending me the rest of that muzzle loader?

[on2wheels52]

Dave, what is the trick to get the screw for the forend started on lever Marlins and Winchesters? I've quit taking them out and not doing the cleaning underneath. Too easy to strip that long little @#$%&* screw.

So, what does a service like that run?
I've got a 94 that could use a going through.

yes they are a biotch. Use a small drift to make sure it's all lined up and a lot of patience. believe it is an 8-64 thread if you botch it.

I was wondering how long you were going to milk it . Glad to see you feelin' good and back to work. I would still like to catch lunch with you one of these days. Still not smoking?

[azasadny]

Excellent project! Glad to see you back at the work bench!!

[Racerbvd]

Glad to see you back at it, we may just have to work something out to get my Grandfather's old 38 up to snuff..

I have not had a smoke since the day I went to the ER. I feel really good. Throat is still numb but every day is better than the last. Good to be back. Your lunch marker is always good.

When my mother had her carotids done, her throat was sore and her voice was raspy for more than 6 months. One day, she woke up and her voice was back and no more soreness...

[Mericet]

Good to see you hard at work again!
