1984
The first time I shot a Ruger PC Carbine was just outside of Phoenix, in the desert, with my friend and his two sons. I instantly fell in love with the precision, recoil, and feel of a full sized carbine.…
RPCw-41 vs3 – Molding Party
Why doesn't anyone make a wood stock for the Ruger PC Carbine? Lots of us have asked ourselves and the internet this question. After having pursued this myself, I have an idea. I think it all comes down to seating…
RPCw-41 Version 2
I fired up the tools again to see if I could improve the original design. If you're not improving, what are we doing? I don't have process photos on this one but I do have results. Changes from version 1…

Numbers on Planes
It must be about 5 years ago I decided to improve my handwriting. It was incredibly messy, cursive, and something I just wasn't proud of. It was ugly. My brother-in-law showed me a new style he was working on, and…
