Low mileage Jeep JK 2017 Sport LOW MILES (23K) I already have an offer from Carmax, but I figured I’d be willing to split the difference with a private buyer. $19,000 I already have an offer and I split my asking price between that and what I see them selling for with similar mileage from…
If you have followed this site for very long, you will know that I found many of Paul’s videos entertaining and educational over the years. Leave to Paul to go out with a splash of showmanship like an actor killed off in TV show getting to play one more scene.
TWO STEP – Running Boards – ??? I picked up a brand new F250 FX4 (just an XL) on Saturday. My wife can’t get in without a step stool, and while she can slide out it is a long way to the ground and she says it can be painful. I find its a long…
“BEST” Duramax Mechanic… Maybe not in Yuma. I asked for the best Duramax Mechanic here in Yuma on NextDoor, Facebook, and a couple other social media sites. Basically, no answer. Of course I researched local shops and read reviews. Something I often hear is “everybody makes mistakes,” or “You can’t please everybody,” as an excuse…
Its going to get used for roughing blanks, but its going to take a lot of work to retrofit it to a modern control before I can use it. Probably the first chore will be getting it off the trailer, and onto a pallet to move it around the shop. VIDEO:
Some people underestimate or ignore the risks associated with using lead and working with it to make various things. Others overreact with fear mongering and scare tactics in an attempt to intimidate people into total avoidance. The truth is somewhere in between, and the best approach is always education and personal choice. I’ve assembled a…
I was working all day in the shop yesterday trying to clear a path to bring in a new machine. I was tired, but when a buddy asked if I want to go fishing I said, “You Betcha!” I probably shouldn’t have. I was tired and it kind of lead to a bad attitude on…

The Arizona Game and Fish Department is seeking public input on proposed changes to the 2025-26 Arizona fishing regulations. A public forum webcast is scheduled for July 29 from 6 to 7 p.m. to further discuss the proposals and to take public comments. There are eight proposed changes: – Create unlimited daily bag and possession…
Bob Rants – If You Call Me Early in The Morning It Better Be An Emergency or You Better be Parked in My Driveway With Your Boat Ready to Take Me Fishing I’ve been supportive of another proprietor. I’ve sent business their way for years. When they went through a transition in their life recently…
Here I break down a simple sound suppressor as designed by the manufacturer on the Benjamin Marauder air rifle. VIDEO BELOW. In case your country blocks Rumble due to its free speech policies I also uploaded to YouTube.
My newish yard toy arrived… wow, almost a month ago. I have missed the weight balance of a bullpup ever since I sold my .25 Kalibre Cricket several years ago. The thing is I never found another bull pup at the right price at the right time until recently, and as long as I take…
I’ve been following along on the lithium news for a while. As you may be aware Lithium Ion batteries can have some serious issues including a likelihood of catching fire (and being very hard to put out) if abused. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo) batteries are supposed to be better in many regards, and more safe…
Left to right. All “ran when parked.” 24′ Searay sportfishing design with fly bridge dual controls. The original Searay. Not the born again Searay. Dual four cylinder Chevies pushing inboard outboard drives. Passable at altitude lakes, excellent at sea level. Internal births below in front. Porta potty I think. Been sitting a long time. Lots…
Geometric Self Opening Die Heads I’ve made simple die heads. Some driven by a tommy bar, others by a pin in the mandrel that can be set up come out of the groove and free spin when it reaches the stopping distance. recently I started researching my $350 Lin Huan TL-25 lathe score in the…

Converted an R8 tool rack into a 4MT tool rack. First ten seconds and last minute is probably all you need to see to get it. Preferred Video Link
I got out the other day with a buddy of mine. We took his boat so I had to fish his pace. He caught five or six fish using various methods. I had a nip on a club-o And lost what felt like a pretty good fish on a curly buzz frog, but i only…

I really go into PCP air rifles for a while. I’ve got a .177 Marauder I regulated that shoots about 120 shots on a fill at 920 feet per second. Its more than adequate for short range pest control, and even hunting. At practical airgun ranges its a little under powered at about 20FPE at…
NEW UPDATE June 29 2024: It looks like boats (vehicles used soley on water) and rail craft me in fact not be covered by these changes. I will wait and see. Politicians are good at changing things. UPDATE: After writing this short note about the new statute I posted a link to it on several…
Before Father’s Day I had been looking at a couple Yukon (Harbor Freight) toolbox benches to replace the pair of to small US General tool carts I’ve been using as tool carts at the South Bend (Grizzly) knee mill and Precision Mathews (14×40) lathe in the back shop. I added them to the shopping cart…
Yeah, its been longer than that since I posted anything about local fishing, but I got out last week. It was just another day in our local fishing paradise, but nothing spectacular. I missed one flipping an RT45 creature bait, and then I missed one on a 4″ Club-O. Finally I stuck a couple on…
Since eliminating the forum overall traffic has dropped from when the forum was public, but not that much from after the forum was taken private. There was lower traffic initially after the format change, but it has been growing back up towards the same levels as when the forum was still online.
Join Rumble. Its maybe not 100% uncensored, but its 500% better than YouTube. https://rumble.com/register/JustAnotherGunGuy/ You might notice when I post a fishing, tackle making, etc video here I always post the link from one of my Rumble channels. Most of the time I also post the exact same video on the same or similar name…
Hi, I am a custom mold maker, and this is going to cost me money…
If you have followed any of my adventures you know I’ve been getting my use out of an 8000lb Warn winch this year. I’ve loaded a couple 3/4 ton trucks for hauling, several weeks back my sons car, and recently rescued somebody stuck in the sand so I could get them out of the way…

One of my projects is this double 16 ga “MAC SXS Shotgun – manufacture nat. d’armes de chat” (C&R) action I bought a while ago. Stock and action is complete. No barrels, block, or forend. I found a good deal on a couple unfinished generic barrels a while back and put them in the safe…
General Info: It should be obvious, but nobody is going to ship a gun to anybody but a federal firearms license holder. If you are an 01 or 07 license holder you should have no issues in that regard except for the exceptions listed listed below. If you are an 03 license holder qualified guns…
Did a sand recovery yesterday. I took my big old 3/4 ton crew cab Chevy diesel 4×4, and left the Jeep at home. Lessons learned or relearned… Air down BEFORE you drive up the sand dune. Check the length of your farm jack hand, and get a cheater bar if you need one. The little…
NEW PHONE. Most of my contacts did not update. If you want me to have your number text me and tell me who you are. If not, that’s okay too.
I know of three revolvers that as near as I can tell the model name is also the caliber. Dan Wesson 357 Magnum Colt 357 Magnum (“I frame” if I recall is the first Colt model chambered in 357 magnum. Yes, before the Trooper (Trooper existed in 38 special)) Astra 357 Magnum (Spanish made &…
This is generally what I do for international shipping because its easiest for me. I have a good relationship with my local mail carriers. When I have packages going out I leave them a note in the mailbox. They come up to the shop and pick them up. It is not necessarily the cheapest, but…
Nah, not really. There is no secret forum. I don’t know if I’ll ever run a fishing forum again of my own. I did however rekindle Tackle Maker. Tackle Maker is about making fishing tackle. There is a fishing chat section as an after thought, but that’s really intended for tackle makers to show of…
1899 (1904 or 1905) 303 Savage I’m looking at an 1899 Savage right now. Probably made in around 1904, but possibly as late as 1905 depending on who you believe. It’s chambered in 303 Savage. Savage’s answer to the 30-30 Winchester. (Yes, I know they aren’t the same. LOL) It’s got the half octagon barrel…
As I’ve posted before my dad had a lot of stuff which I am tasked with using, repurposing, or getting rid of. Things like a couple similar size generators side by side that both started on the first or second pull and ran appropriately with a load. (No, I didn’t scope them.) I have just…
I worked most of the day yesterday. I had gotten one custom mold design roughed out, and I was waiting on feedback from the customer before starting work on the “pretty” details. A buddy of mine called late in the day and said he was available if I needed help with anything or wanted to…
One of my fishing buddies called me up yesterday and wanted to hit the local water. I finished up the CAD/CAM for a custom mold for one of my customers, and I was at a stopping point waiting on feedback from another before wrap up. I wasn’t quite ready to take either to the machines…
Remington Rand 1911A1 Pistol What can you tell me about it and its history? I was not really aware of it until I ran across this one owned by a friend. It was his dad’s service weapon in WWII. First I looked up its value using the completed sales option on Gun Broker, and then…
Yeah, I bought another one.
Okay… maybe that’s a bit of an over statement, but it needs to be repaired! Please follow along as I figure this out.

I’ve got a pretty good travel tool kit my wife gave me for Christmas several years ago. It’s got enough tools it might qualify as a starter mechanics set. It’s one of the more complete all in one mechanics sets I’ve seen for a travel set. It’s also pretty heavy as you might imagine. For…
