That one has been a work in progress. Rescued it from a pawn shop for $200.00 and it actually looked even worse before. Had the common light strikes issue, resolved by a stronger hammer spring and modifying the hammer strut. Added a 3/32 white bead front sight and Williams FP receiver sight. Feed the rifle 24 grains Hodgdon 335 under a 150 grain lead slug and it shoots as well as I can do.

I know this is normal for alotta you but it’s causing chaos for most people around here. Tree’s are down everywhere!!! I’ve cut probably a dozen out of the road today.

~2000' give or take. Our snow mighta been deeper but it got warm enough it rained for spells instead of straight snow the whole time.

 

[Nate.]

Ahh right that makes sense! Hasn’t rained here at all.

Where are you at Nate? Close to woodslasher and I? We’re in eldorado county

 

[Nate.]

Near Grass valley, I think about an hour a half drive from you guys.

 

[Nate.]

If you get off i80 at Colfax i’m about 15 minutes from there.

You guys who aren't used to the snow may not realize it,but thats actually a whole lotta water sitting there and it can create a lot of havoc if it fast melts.
Streams and rivers can become quite exciting.

Where I live in Kentucky we get snow like that about once a decade. I live out in the country in the hills so people are pretty accustomed to driving in slick or rough conditions even though we don't get that much snow. Now in the cities where people aren't used to snow the roads can become parking lots. The worst ones are those who think that because they drive an SUV they can just drive in their normal crazy way. During the big snow of '21, I drove my 2wd Ford Ranger past many of them in ditches. It's all about the technique!

550 xp mk II

Sounds good. Are there still any Jo-Bu saws making chips up there?
