Sorry for the thread drift. It was a nice walk down memory lane tho. My advice, for what it is worth rods currently available you cannot go wrong with the Stiller. Pay once and never need to look for another, unless you leave it behind. bob ps and perhaps even more important Jerry stands...

Matt: Your story is not at all unique. If Bill took a liking to you he could be the most gracious of folks. If he didn't then you were lucky to get the time of day from him. I remember sitting in his shop one day when his phone rang. The conversation went something like this: Do I know you...

I got my first one last week Friday AM. All was well until 3 AM Tuesday then all hell broke loose. Sick? Never so sick in my life. Thursday I thought it was behind me, but no way. By Thursday afternoon I thought it was gonna kill me. Felt just as bad on Friday, yesterday, until 5 PM when the...

Those posting here have apparently never had the enjoyment of using one of the late Bill Myers rods. There were none better, and I dare say still are none better. If you find one for sale buy it at any price. Then when you are old and grey you can sell it and at least get your money back...

Plexus works for me. bob

RFS99 I have to, I know it is hard to comprehend, agree with Tim. Gadgets or ornaments or whatever you want to call them only enrich those who make and/or sell them. I have a large box full of the things I have tested over the years. They remain in the box. With what I paid for them and all...

Al: Good for you! The big unanswered question however is did you obtain any SPPrimers? They seem to be as scarce as hens teeth. bob

I had a very pleasant heartwarming experience this morning. I was at my pistol club minding my own business and trying to stay cool, when from the next line over a youthful voice came over the berm separating the two. This kid was excited! After a while I walked over to see what was going on...

Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Is it Found On Road Dead or Fix Or Repair Daily? I prefer the former. bob

Landy: Bill went so far as to cover the labels on his "adhesives" so a visitor did not know what was in the can/bottle/jar. A quick story: When Calfee came out with his "first" book, the paper back one, I bought 2. One for me and one for Bill. This was during the time Bill was very ill...

Yes, Bill sleeved actions. I once watched him work on one in his shop, but probably not this one. Another thing; Bill was one of the best in his business when it came to adhesives. Through his "day job" he had access to some very sophisticated aero-space adhesives and knew their properties...

I have two of them. One is a prototype I probably should not have (it is a long story) and the other a early first year issue. Neither have given me so much as a hint of a problem. bob[

I had a cataract removed less than 2 weeks ago in my right eye. I've worn glasses since I was 3. For the first time in my life I now wear plano shooting glasses. I need readers for the next 30 or so days until they will be willing to write me a new Rx for the lens ( I hope plano with...

Kent: Good to hear from you. Like you I have been travel restricted so I've been away from the great folks in this game, just as you are. The good news is many of us are still around, just maybe not within eyesight distance. Best of luck to you and travel when you can. I know I'll be...

$3k for a new 52E? They should consider locking you up for stealing it unless the seller was happy too. Good Lord man, they don't make em like that any more. I'm drooling just thinking about it. bob

What you need is patience. Kenyon and Canjar triggers come up once in a while on e-bay et all. You may increase your odds of finding one by telling every shooter you know you want one. The best you can get a factory Miracle trigger is about 2 pounds. Butch Hongisto knew how to get them much...

Tim has it nailed. Rimfire Blend can be improved tho if you wish. 1/2 Rimfire Blend, 15/32 Marvel Mystery Oil, 1/32 Kroil makes an excellent .22 rf bore solvent. I don't measure, just dump em in the bottle I carry when it is time to replenish. Shake well before use as it separates. The...

Tim: bloop tubes extend the sighting plane on a metallic sight rifle. They are very effective at that function. What many of us call bloop tubes, or barrel ornaments, or whatever have an entirely different function since we BR shooters use scopes, not metallic sights. The only thing I know...

I think we should let Jim speak for himself if Pete wants to contact him. Jim has threaded and barreled an Annie for me, but it was a few years ago. bob

Mark is a good choice. So is Jim Peightal if he wants that Annie threaded. bob
