Western Massachusetts Tacomas

shelburne falls

 

I had a proper metal jig to use.

I work in the industry.

 

Nice! If you are free this weekend, a couple of us are going on a toys for tots meet and wheeling run (obviously you don't have to wheeling you don't feel comfortable) if you want to come out and meet some of the TW community .....

 

Gotcha

I worked the industry for a few years as well and mounts without the proper jig always seemed a little questionable haha

 

Have done several when frame touring bindings first came out. For what a jig cost its a no brainer, s buying a new ski after messing it up.

 

How was the movie?

 

Really good. It amazes me that some of those places exist. I have been on ski trips to some amazing places, but they barely compare.

 

Very cool.
I have always liked his movies.

 

His movies made me love skiing, which has lead to my career.

My buddy works for Matchstick Productions as one of the main filmers. They make similar movies, but dont come to the area with a movie tour.

 

I'm skiing with some buddies, but that looks like a blast. I'll have to come next year.

 

Hey Guys, Anyone know where one might go in Western MA to have some old guns restored? Thinking it would be a fun gift for the wife to restore some of her fathers guns. A couple of them have some very pretty scrollwork.

 

Cool idea.
But keep in mind, some guns are worth more in the long run "unrestored". ie, natural patina, historical value or rarity and such.
I'd have them looked at by a professional before undertaking a restoration.

 

Good point and I have a handful I wanted someone with knowledge to check out for us. Hopefully I can get in contact with someone and have them take a look!

 

Dark horse gunsmithing in Granby. The MinuteMan Armory in Templeton. Old Glory Guns and Ammo in NH would be able to advise too

 

On another note, this new Rebel is pretty sharp. Bilstein shock with reservoir in the rear, duratracs, etc. Sharp looking truck

 

Rebel Ram? My brother has one, like it quite a bit, but big!


Thanks for the shops! Big help!

 

Oh yeah, definitely bigger. I wouldn’t mind the extra room with a kid in the back though. Hopefully the Tundra changes for next year cause I’m thinking about a bigger truck. It’d be hard to ditch the taco though.

 

Just out of interest, what have you got?

 

I honestly don't even know most of them, there are a bunch. The only one I've really spent time looking at is one that saw action in WW1. They are all in sorta rusty shape, and mostly real old it looks like. I want to get someone who knows whats what to take a peak and get a better idea. I could look the numbers up online I suppose, just haven't sat down to do that.

 

Right on, yeah definitely worth a look. That’s pretty cool
