Yup, I was up north. Pretty good chill in the air.

I was out looking at some remote properties today, not hunting. Of course I came across two groups of mule deer. 6 younger bucks sniffing does. And no more than 30-40 yards away. Ouch.

I'll take all 3 too

Why, cuz I can Google?

Spangenberg Gunsmith, Tombstone, Arizona Territory: A Very Rare Leather Rifle Scabbard. George F. Spangenberg was a legendary Tombstone gunsmith whose shop on 4th Street also sold ammunition and leather accessories. Sometime after the OK Corral gunfight he closed up shop and move to Tucson, where he began working for a mining company. However, it seems he had made some enemies. One night Spangenberg had an altercation in a local bar, and several days later four men came looking for him and confronted him in a tool shed where he was working. The details are a bit sketchy, but Spangenberg killed three of the men inside the toolshed, the fourth just outside, and grabbed the next stage out of town. Today a recreation of his gun shop operates as a tourist attraction on 4th, just across the street from its original location. Leather gun accessories sold by Spangenberg are extremely rare. Authorities with whom we consulted remember seeing a couple of holsters, but never a rifle scabbard. The example offered here is in very good condition, with only typical moderate surface wear from use, and no damage. All four leather attachment loops are present, and there is an attractive embossed border around the open end and underside. The logo "Spangenberg/Gunsmith/Tombstone A.T." is deeply stamped on both sides, with "35 R" stamped below each logo. Length 36.5".

I'll take the .22 mag ammo and .357 dies

We got more wind than rain. Only .06" of precip yesterday. How did y'all fare?

Very nice. Lots of venison in your freezer. Another week, repeat.

Outstanding

IDK precip amounts but there's a river flowing across my front yard.

I guess you'd have to post those pics on social media or the warden would need to show cause and get a search warrant to look through your devices. if it came to that, save your ammo for two legged game.

2nds on the revolver

.

Prefer carbide but not a deal breaker.

Do you have a crimp die and shell holder for that cal?

West Valley

Found all these items on my gold claim east of Crown King. A friend of mine whom belongs to the areas Yavapai Tribe thinks this spot was used as a rites of spring gathering place. Be careful if you venture there. According to legend, area is guarded by spirit dogs and unreformed Bumble creatures.

Check your PM box

Found a set of 30-06 dies. Any 308s?

Does the handle come off? Sent you a PM

Check with State Trailer in Peoria.

About 10 years ago a buddy asked me to help liquidate his dad's farm after he'd passed on. After hauling trailers to tractors back to the valley, my friend and I made another trip down to the farm to pickup any remaining scrap and dispose of it so the place could go on the market. One item in the barn caught my eye and I asked to keep it. Was an old rolling tool box. Ended up in my shop holding my welding and cutting tools. While moving it in the shop yesterday I decided it's time to do some research on it. Decal is pretty much toast but could make out the maker and date of manufacture... Remline made in 1951. Restore it or just use and appreciate it?

I bought a pair of what appeared to be, newer jump boots at Goodwill. About halfway into a hike I realized something was wrong. Both soles were coming off. Like CJ, my pack is a virtual mobile hardware store. Some Gorilla tape and a beeline trek back to the truck. So proud I had a fix I hardly noticed the looks of contempt I got at the trailhead.
