Cowboy Gun Gets a Makeover

Scott loves firearms - shooting and refining them. Four years ago on his birthday, he gave himself a cowboy gun - a Rossi 92 45 Colt. Over the past few years, Scott has made some modifications to the Rossi. It's now a 454 Colt, has a custom bullet mold, a shorter barrel (thanks Arnold), the metal has been refinished, a recoil pad added, and - most recently - Scott made a new stock for it out of curly maple. See what you think.

He even made a custom site slot filler out of Damascus.

Here are a few pictures taken soon after Scott got the gun.

Scott tried several stains before finding the right one for his new stock.

Fitting the butt stock.

Fitting the forend.

Newly Parkerized parts.

Done.

That's quite the transformation.

A happy man and his new truck gun.

Camping with Rover the Knife

Camping with Rover - watch it chop down a tree to make a shelter, light a fire,

open a beer, and cut a cigar. What more could you ask of a knife?

Rover The Knife

Rover is man's best friend. . . and we're talk'in about the knife, not the dog.

The Rover does it all - chops wood, starts fires, even opens beers. What more could you ask?

You can wear Rover on your hip or strap it to a pack.

You can even strap it to your dog's pack and make him tote it for you.

A ferro rod striker is integrated into the butt the knife.

That striker also doubles as a beverage opener.

So Rover is handy if you are thirsty, hungry or cold.

Rover comes standard in O1 with a Parkerized (blackout) finish, scalloped
Micarta handle, and leather bushcraft sheath with ferro rod.
Rover will soon be available in 3V as well.

Rover

Steel: O1

Finish: Parkerized

Overall Length: 10.5 inches

Piranha Knife in Action

The Piranha is a small belt and/or neck knife designed and produced E. Scott McGhee. You can call it an everyday carry, but we prefer the term "everyday survival knife." Here's a video explaining some of the neat things this little blade can do to enhance your daily existence.
