If the trigger guard should happen to break on the m-6 scout, it would allow the gun to fold up flat into itself and tuck nicely into a bag..its the only mod I've made to mine.
I took the trigger guard off of mine and reshaped it to better fit my hand with gloves on. Then re-installed it.Quote:

was at the dollar store and saw some measuring spoons http://www.recipetips.com/images/glo...ing_spoons.jpg
and i said, maybe i can use the big one for a handhold on a firebow
and then i got home and while i was putting around the kitchen opening a can
i looked at the top i had just peeled off and thought about the measuring spoons i just bought
so i got my snips, and made a cut in the can top to the center
and then shaped it into a cone http://www.thepartypeople.com.au/pro...mages/3321.jpg for another possible firebow handhold
the top of the firestick will be sharpened to a sharp point for less friction
i'll try both this weekend
CG - a shot glass works very well (cover the outside with duct tape first).
Have you fired the weapon since wrapping the barrel? The reason I ask is that wrapping anything around the barrel changes the harmonics of the barrel and can affect accuracy. You might want to go shoot the weapon and see if your target acquisition has changed much. Check out the US Army Sniper Field Manual for more info on this and more.Quote:

Thank you for the reference. However.Quote:

Over the years I've taken several deer, a couple fox and several hare with the little gun. It works really well.
It's not a sniper or target rifle and I don't shoot dimes with it. This gun is used for trapping, hunting and survival.
I can hit standard clay pigeons at 100 yrds with every shot. Thats good enough for the type of weapon it is.
It's small, light and easy to carry and I have complete confidence that I can (if I have to) Kill anything here in Alaska.
I love my M-6:)
But, uh...how do you keep from spilling your drink?Quote:

here's one.. a junked swingset slide. plastic kind
cut the top end off, drill a few holes for rope, like shoelaces. add rope.
makes a nice deer drag. we made one of these yesterday and tested it on a buck I harvested.
Now instead of a slide the kids call it a fall! :) That sounds like a great idea, there is an old swingset in my yard that was left by the last owners. Congrats on the buck. How big was the deer?Quote:

Very bright idea. Get it? Bright?
It gets glowing recommendations...
That is pretty dang clever. That would be pretty handy on your tent, too. I've been out at night and had to pull out the dang GPS to find my way back to camp a time or two. You can be right on top your tent before you find it if you don't have glow in the dark tabs on it. Fortunately, mine does and it makes finding camp at night a LOT easier.

Since you're QC why not start by trying some of that black tape OVER YOUR MOUTH?
Ouch. I sense a wee bit of hostility here. :innocent:Quote:

no pics at this time, but here's a simple one.
at the dollar store you can get boggins for like $1 each..
turn it inside out and pick a spot between the seams, try to follow the knit rib.
make a cut through one thickness of the boggin, between the X stitches.. like a buttonhole. dont' cut the stitches, cut the boggin itself. It looks like this: X-
reach in between the layers down to the bottom, and pull it inside out. It turns into a loop. great for a scarf, or covering your ugly mug when it's cold. It's stretchy so it stays in place. reverse it again and it's a boggin again, with a small hole inside.
Thanks to my b.i.l. for showing me something he discovered on accident lol.
Ummmm, ....................What is a "boggin"?

I'd like to see pictures of that YCC, I'm thinking about doing it :)
chrs. I'll get batteries sometime today when the wife gets back from xmas shopping.. will take pics then to better show what to do.
I have never heard anyone call it a boggin.
Ski hat, knit hat, watch cap (army), togue, etc, never a boggin. Maybe it is an east coast thing.
Boggin', is just short for "toboggan cap".Quote:

2d2k is right.. toboggan cap.
I thought it was a southern dialect thing, but I see the yankees call it that too.
pics coming.. uploading them now.
Permanently attach Gaiters to Boots, with construction adhesive, or silicone. We do this with Bunny Boots, and 86 the laces.
Here you see the hole that only goes through one layer. boggin is inside out so the raggedy hole isn't seen.

pull the boggin inside out, through the hole like this:
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...100_5834-1.jpg
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...100_5836-1.jpg
and voila, now you have a balaclava thing.. I'll call it a scarf cuz i'm a redneck and have no idea how to pronounce balaclava.

I don't know how to knit so I can't tell you how to keep it from unravelling, but at $1 a piece I don't think I'll worry about it too much. If anyone finds out how to knit the buttonhole to pull it through, I'm very interested.
Nice idea YCC and you bring up an interesting point. Knitting is probably a good skill to learn.
I try to keep the gators off my boots..Quote:

Nice post and thanks for the pictures!!
