ray benson suggested going into profile or something and you can change it back to the old version. Whatever he said worked for me. Maybe preferences? I think it's 2.0 the version prior to this
Just saw this when I was browsingIt looks like I got a real good reason (or maybe 50 of them) to buy a 300 blackout upper now lol

Preferences! Thanks!
Dang, I didn't know all that Steve.
Want me to go drop a big tree over his driveway and hang it up with it still on the stump
.Or I could drop some punky logs in his drive
.Wait until the next video I see of his...
Looks great but I ended up buying two used bolt actions today so that’s on hold for a couple of paychecks.Just saw this when I was browsing

Mosssberg ATR youth in .243 and a Savage Axis Camo in 7mm-08. Both with scopes and cases, grand total $550 out the door.
Thank you! That was irritating. Don't know why it was changed.
Not familiar with those, but with what the current state of prices is that sounds like a great deal.
Different scrounging topic; I actually like the new view on my phone, it looks great, that coming from someone who hasn't like the changes here in the past.
What seems to be missing on my phone is the page numbers at the bottom, and on my computer the page number isn't highlighted very dark so its hard to tell what page I'm on.
Thank you. Ignore my previous. I found where preferences was hiding. I'm back to a civilized version. I was expecting to find that blank half page showing up full of ads.
Me too, thanks to ray for finding and sharing that. The new version seemed harder to read.
Couple of peppermint logs salvaged from a tree that fell over, taking out a dead standing tree and a fence.
I used a chain I filed in the vice instead of on the bar thinking it would probably be better and managed to turn out the worst filed chain I have done in my life. This is the first time I've had the saw trying to cut around corners and also very grabby. Slower going than it should have been but got there eventually. I'll have a look at it tomorrow and see if I can tell what I did to it.
Ended up with some nice wood on a nice day.

It was VERY difficult for me and I couldn't even see what page I was on. Thank goodness there was a way to turn it back or I would be done here. I couldn't find a site notice as to what happened either.
Found two Bk Locust logs at the resurrected log yard yesterday.
Halfway through the second log, the chain stopped cutting and the bar got hot. I resharpened and went at it again. Same thing. Decided to go home since I'm only 2 miles away and I like to keep my exercise sessions short. First day in the 70s too. As I was loading, I noticed I ht a couple of nails. That explains everything.
Still, I ended up with a decent load. Later I went back for the last four rounds. The chain was still reluctant. Today, I put on a new one and rescue a nice 20" R Oak log from the burn pile which is raging now.
Some rounds do have a punky center that I'll have to split around, but the decaying center crack made them easy to split for loading.

The chain mentioned was a new Stihl green chain (RM?). I've only sharpened the cutters a dozen times and noticed the chips were smaller than when new.
I'm not good at lowering the rakers so I don't do it often enough. I got out the Oregon guide and setting on this safety chain, the guides did not rise above the guide. Don't know what's going on.

Nice score on the locust, bummer on the chain.
Locust does not throw big chips, especially using RM chain. That being said it should still cut just fine.
Yesterday when I went back, I started cutting on the R. Oak that I'm cutting today, and it didn't even cut that. I probably need to spend more time on it.
I need to hit the little picco chain on my ms201 rear handle. When I was removing a stump for a customer the roots spread out into the yard, so I lifted it up a bit with the tractor and ran my saw thru it
. As it was I added a little over a half a yard of dirt to the hole and my tracks.I should sharpen it first thing when I get to the job this morning, I use that saw a lot, today all my cutting is brush and 4-5" wood for clearing a trail. Perfect place for it.
Did you get that other BL log I saw on the pile
.
The Axis is Savage’s entry level bolt action. For the price (they go for 350-400 new for the all black version), they are a pretty decent gun. The new ones even come with the accutrigger. They also come with detachable box magazine which is nice especially for younger hunters. I have 3 of them, a .223 with accutrigger and then .7mm-08 and .22-250 without accutrigger. I certainly love the smoothness of a Win 70 or Ruger 77 but just cannot justify the current insane prices when buying spare spare spare guns.
I believe the ATR is Mossberg’s only rifle. (I believe it stands for all terrain rifle.) This is the only one I’ve handled and again for the price it was an easy decision.
I like the new layout on here but the text is really small (even to my 42 year old eyes) and I haven’t got (gotten?) used to that yet.
Today I’m doing a birthday party for my youngest daughter. Poor girl had three parties in a row cancelled. 2019 we had a major snowstorm and then Covid. Going to do it up good for her this year.
