Living where almost every winter we get snowed in for a couple of days two or three times I do my best to line up gun related projects to keep from going nuts in the bad weather. Reconditioning old single shotguns is a hobby of mine and as it stands now I have six waiting for my attention. I pick them up at farm and estate sales for next to nothing and end up giving most of them to the young ones as the first gun of their own. There is something about bringing a old beat up gun back to life that is good for the soul. One project I am anxious to get started on is a cap-lock Trapper Pistol kit. I have to fight myself to leave it until winter is here.
