I especially like that third picture, with the big Spanish Moss covered oak in the background.

Got a full sized pic of the pickup?

May God bless America and those who defend her.

The tree is a Pecan. The truck is a '69 F100, 240 I-6, 3spd. It is not pretty but is mechanically sound. My daily driver for the past 10 months. Everything works except for the dash speaker. Need to rebuild the steering column as shifting is a bit of a battle. Body is sorry looking and cancerous. I love it.

The selection of old projects sounds exciting! Indeed, the spring lengths of Stith rings varied according to the size and spacing of the scope tubes; it is usual practice to shorten or fabricate a new one. The plunger type allows faster detachment with a little more movement over time, while the rail type provides good repeatability but slower removal for B&L/Kuharsky setups. Once you have the 722 or Mauser constructions mounted, I would really like to see pictures!
