Wow, nice benches and I assume Stanley Vidmars.
I am building wood cabinets around an old steel workbench I got from work in the late 80's, many Gov't installations during the cold war ( when we ran way over budget on the weapons testing program) had "upgraded" many times and sold off, at auction Wednesdays at lunch , the old stuff. Buying those would have saved me months of design, fab, buy trips, pain pills, etc, lol
Any more shooting toys?
Merry Christmas eve

Spent the day assembling... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/y8JcKV2t/4-CCCAD1-E-555-E-4403-AAAF-71793649-C7-B6.jpg) Not trying to tell you what to do but I’d invest in some LED lighting down there....it would seriously brighten things up and use less electricity. You might even have to wear sunglasses while working there. Best money I ever spent in my shop!

Merry Christmas eve The blue one is a Vidmar. The rest are WorkPlace Systems out of NH. It’s nice stuff —full extension drawer slides. I’ll post up #4 in a few.

Even if headspace is ok in that National Ordnance 03A3 I wouldn't shoot it. Those folks slapped gov't surplus parts onto el cheapo cast receivers and foisted them onto an unsuspecting public. You couldn't give me one of them. Well you could and I would part it out and toss the receiver in the garbage.

Looking good, yep the National Ordnance is very suspect. LED lighting is the way to go. Fluorescent lights can cause problems with a digital scale if you use one.

Great thread.
Nice wingmaster.
Which choke?
Is there another barrel around?
The owner often would buy a second barrel if they wanted another choke.

What, no early 70's stash of dirt weed? half rotted Playboy mags? A half pint of Old Grandad, fully aged now?
Just some old paint cans?
When I bought my 7 Acre RANCH!, I at least got an old cows skull up in the tree, some vertebrae, and a bunch of old gray mule deer antlers, some already chewed on by the rats. Geno. Kingston moved to Michigan.... not the wild west I've found a couple woodchuck skulls. How much wood can a woodchuck chuck? Good grief Kingston, why settle for Michigun? enjoy Gretchen? wtf This. I didnt know Americans MOVED THERE.

That might me a Carcano bayonet. I seem to remember the Arisaka type 99 bayonet had a curved quillion. But it sure looks like a last ditch 99 bayonet Fer sure, KW.

Wait till he finds 20 Large in silver certificates under a stair step. My commercial clammer buddy of 20 years texted me last month a few pics. He was hired to do a clean out of an old crumbling coastal farmhouse. Legend had it that the owners made a fortune during prohibition bootlegging LQ from Canada. Long story shorter, in the attic he found a hidden strongbox with almost $50k in small bills. Newest date on bills was 1934. Nice hit!

OMG. I just checked. It does appear to be a 10ga. It's not marked, but a 12ga shell is too small. LOL. The 10Ga. shells are all packed up still. I'll get 12344Mag over here to test fire it. Youtube is calling. Lol, Hell yeah!! When it comes to guns i don't mind being the Guinea Pig........... Psst..Hey monkey...next time you see his basement light on, call me. We'll see if we can take a late season doe out there whilst he's looking for more lost treasure. I can be there in 15. 1 shot, 1 kill...he'll never know we were there! Maybe leave a backstrap on the porch as penance. It's all good...
