What else do you do when it's 9 degrees Celsius go in the shed and start drilling picatinny rails . Only got to finish 200 of them .

Start looking for a warmer place to live?

Be about the coldest it gets here . Well until we go contract shooting for a bit then it gets cold probably down to zero at times . But no snow where we going to so that's 1 good thing.

I’d take it over the heat we’re getting! 97 F and 90% humidity here on the US east coast. I’ll be shooting pistol with my younger son in law, tomorrow morning. He called me to ask if I’ll be OK in the heat. I must look older than I feel.

I am looking for that here, bring it on!! If we could get a big cold snap for about a week, freezing or just a little below it would kill off all the iguanas. And what a good thing that would be. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1543868441...0sCtDQyxUcXzCeBT3LDq8HC1k=|tkp:Bk9SR-aQ5rbwZQ

What damage do iguanas do to crops over there ? Or do they just reproduce like rabbits?

Yes round column mill drill and it gets a hammering trust me . Yes mate do the whole process . Had a profiling tool made to do the sides of the rail. Then had another tool made for doing th radius for different actions aswell . But luckily a few actions have the same front and rear radius so didn't need to have heaps made . Also have a flat bed cnc router but need to learn how to do all the technical stuff to get it going

Sorry about the link I had copied a link to a nice Carhartt parka, but the picatinny rail will not go away. I have no idea if they damage crops or not, I have never seen them in the glades (rich farmland to the west of me). I see them in neighborhoods mostly. They carry salmonella, and my wife worries her Aussies with bit them and get sick. The most damage I have heard of is collapsing a sea wall trying to dig a cave to live in.

The black rail I'm currently machine was left over from an order . So just machining the area to machine actions at the moment . So waiteting product . All my rails get duracoated in house . Nothing gets sent out for any machining or finishing work

 

[Seagull]

Profile cutter to suite action and rails in progress of being machined .

I would welcome 48.2 degree F about now; mid 90s and typical 60-70% humidity here in KY.

Iguanas are a profound problem in Florida. Mostly released illegally when they get too big for people who kept them as “pets”, and the population has exploded.
When temps get a bit frosty (even in Florida), those 10 to 20 lb lizards “body bomb” cars, houses, and even people when they fall from the trees. Issues of salmonella are real, and their burrowing into canal banks causes severe erosion near structures.
Lots of work to be had for professional pest control companies, and even Outfitters that organize hunts for paying clients. Using PCP rifles for safety and relatively quiet shooting; even an episode of Mike Row’s show “Dirty Jobs” featured the growing problem there.
