What gun stuff did you do today?

More, I'll use 9mm to set the sight and see how close the others are.

Can't figure out why everybody feels the need to kill a bobcat. --- SAWMAN

Well they kill the hell out of the turkeys as do yotes, but I see what you are saying I enjoy watching them.

One, because it's legal... two, because they have no natural predators, 3 because they devastate the Turkey and quail populations.

Honestly it's the first one I've ever killed... I don't care how many turkeys they eat. I just wanted to mount one.

Finally got done with my make over of my Ruger P-85. It was a cerakote learning experience. I have a couple of spots that I messed up on but over all it looks good to me. Put some new sights on her since it was a full frame & slide disassembly.

Looks great to me! Need to paint the trigger!

Yeah, Looking at it now, I think you're right. The hammer and trigger was both silver so I cerakoted it black, but I think I will have to take it apart and paint it bronze. It's funny that when my wife or daughters ask if "these shoes match the dress", I usually just say yes not really caring but when I look at a gun I am more critical.

I guess I did forget to mention the 2nd bobcat I shot a few weeks ago. This one was stalking an all white fox squirrel. The .308win ate her up. DRT. Dang near cut her in half, but the skull was salvaged.

I have to ask since I am a city boy, how do you get the skulls so clean? Do you do it yourself?

My buddy Clay does them for me. He fleshes them out, then puts them in a recirculating tub of hot water and degreaser to pull the fat out of the bone. Then a bath of peroxide for whitening. It's a nasty job, so it's well worth the money to have him do it. Lol.

Museums I was told used to use insects to clean bone, but I could be in error on that.

Ant bed, then peroxide.

Flesh eating beatles are absolutely the best method. I have several skulls done that way and they are incredible.

Picked up a 8.5 inch upper on a great deal. Added some style. Looking forward to adding an optic and flash can and blasting! Dosent that grip just pop?
