The upper receiver I have is a thick walled something similar to the one on the right in this photo. I have plenty of AR’s hence the 10 or so years of neglect this build has had so far. I have thought about buying a couple cheap palmetto rifle kits their prices are really tough to beat for a...

Barrel, handguard, gas tube and gas block is about it maybe a bolt. I had the bolt but broke a bolt in a different AR shooting turtles and I think I stole that one to replace the broken one.

Started building an AR about 10 years ago it’s still about half done I had built many AR’s and I guess that’s just where I was in the process when the AR building bug finally wore off. I do need to at least finish that one though I was building it as a dedicated long range rig but now I’d rather...

I thought I had your address Telmark but I can’t seem to find it shoot me a message with it I’ll try and get them in the post tomorrow

Nuttall oak have done very well for me in zone 6B they transplant very well compared to many other oaks seedlings. Concordia also transplant well it’s why I choose those two to replace trees that I’ve had died in my large planting.

Guys I have about 75 Nuttall oaks and 30 Concordia oaks, MDC over shipped and I likely over ordered also. They are free for the taking, we finished planting today; most are still in the bundle unopened. I am an hour south of KC

I’ve got 7 ponds to thin them down in so I’ll be moving the traps around between ponds all summer.

Last fall I scored a couple pond king turtle traps cheap we assembled them and got one in a pond Saturday and the other in a pond this evening I’ll leave them in those two pond’s for a week or maybe two weeks then move them to a couple diffrent ponds.

60” Tree pro tubes and 1/2” rebar stakes 3/8” rebar is a bit to flexible for my taste but will work if budget is an issue.

My pawpaws are long gone before October maybe there are latter dropping verities idk.

They drop very early however so are of no real hunting benefit other than nutrition maybe.

I made one of those out of 3/4” hickory a while ago just to see if I liked them to sit in. Last time i had logs cut I had quite a bit of 8/4 cut so I could make a few of them when I got around to it they really are not bad for comfort I least I thought they where OK.

My daffodils are nearly done my fern leaf peony just opened.

I used 3/4 plywood to build the sled it works ok if I did a lot of this type of thing I might build or buy a better one but for an occational slab project every 10-15 years it’s fine. Who knows I may do more of it after retirement. I love to build furniture but it takes up so much room there has...

I bought a couple thousand rounds of Wolf steel case 223 for $89 a thousand years ago I still have maybe 800 rounds left of it. Not the most accurate stuff but it goes bang. Wish I could find some at that price today!!
