My Son and I have been looking for another Big Bore Rifles 300 Win Mag or larger. The majority( notice I said majority) of stocks and forearm pieces are composite. Most on sale ,Armslist,has very little wood grain stocks,seem to me everybody wants to get rid of their junk they bought and seems to be sorry they bought everything except wood. Half of the big bores look like an AK 47 or AR junk, with a higher price tag they will never get rid of.They are beginning to understand, wood has character on a firearm. Seems to me gun makers are making a heck of an error when they jumped on the no wood bandwagon, they just look cheap.Yes I heard the story of, "at least you don't scratch the stock,or it's not a piece of furniture." I am sure of a few reasons the gun manufacturers switched. 1. It is cheaper to mold the plastic,no need to have expensive machinery to cut and router out nice stocks. 2. is the plastic doesn't twist or warp.
My answer to the first question is, just look how much plastic is used in everything we use today,most of it is worthless and breaks down faster than if it was made right the first time.
for #2 Plastic is cheaper, so does that mean the firearm should be cheaper?Why isn't it? The manufactures prices are climbing,so that means they are getting profit increased with no extra work. Sort of like the Propane shortages today.
Ok, for a bright point,,,, Lets hear the applause for more snow and cold.Hooray!!
If you listen good enough you can hear my one finger salute to good ole Mother Natures best weather.In my use of my third language (profane)the weather should be warmer with the blue streak I'm using, with me it's English, obscene, and profane, makes me an educated man of languages.lol.
Just glad we heat with wood,and don't have to beg,borrow to the gas companies whims, or high Kw hours and watch the electric meter spin out of control. I still have a new disappointing elec baseboard heaters hung between the floor joists in the box.I used to have 8-10 units, gave them all away but this one,don't know why I keep it, unless it's just to remember to never put one in.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
