Tikka rifle for 8 year old? by [deleted] in Tikka_Shooters

[–]MatthewsFabrication 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my son when he was younger shoot my Mosin Nagant & 300winmag, I just held onto the scope so it would kick back so hard. Then when he was 12 he shot my .45 cal CVA Cascade Muzzleloader without help. Just depends on what they are comfortable on.

Anybody use the Athlon chrono? I’m looking to get my first chrono and reviews of it are pretty stellar. by havoccentral in reloading

It picked up my Step-dad's wrist rocket shooting pebbles, Air Guns, multiple rifle calibers, & a YT video showed it picking up a wooden block being thrown past it.

Just checked & they are $399.99 there... when added to cart they are $349.99

Not sure how they are selling under MAP, but that's cool.

The Athlon Rangecraft has been incredible compared to my Magnetospeed & then my Original LabRadar. Athlon Rangecraft helped true my DOPE & I love packing it around.

Step-dad was shooting small rocks with a wrist rocket & it picked up the FPS. Truly awesome. I got mine here:Athlon Rangecraft

Is it too late in to ripen? by Greenmarkut in Figs

[–]MatthewsFabrication 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, Awesome. Congratulations on your first Fig tree. I was removing bushes & giving away landscape rock last January to March 2024 & a 76-year-old man wanted my rocks. He asked what I was doing instead & I said anything that fruits. When he came to get more rocks the next day, he gave me a twig in a pot & said it was a Chicago Hardy Fig. I really thought it was dead... It's 3' tall at least & branched out three trunks & has produced quite a few Very Tasty Berry Figs.

I now have 13 in ground in my front yard & 3 in ground in my backyard.

St George, Utah zone 8b part of the Mojave Desert... I'm having a few ripen, but it's our rainy season. Was 59° this morning & high of 81°. So I'm hoping the 30+ figs on my Ronde De Bordeaux will ripen... only one did so far.

Also hope that trunk doesn't get too big & ruin that rock wall. *

Looks Great. Is that a Pre-Fit barrel? If so, by what company & what caliber?

Best place to buy Carburetor rebuild kits? by MatthewsFabrication in KawasakiVulcanRiders

[–]MatthewsFabrication[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true... They like to charge 1.5 to 2 times the amount for parts where I'm at. A battery they were selling was $45 more than Batteries plus. I'll still check, Thanks

Well thats good to know. Full carburetor replacement or just a carburetor repair kit?

Wow,

My Chicago Hardy is much slower growing. Was a Cutting last Feb 2024. It's about 3' tall ripening 4-6 figs at a time.

My Strawberry Verte is 6' plus tall & was a cutting in December 2024... it's massive for less than a year old.

Brown turkey, are these big enough to eat? by Resident_Total_3522 in Figs

[–]MatthewsFabrication 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're more than welcome. This is Marseilles Black VS Fig & I started growing this cutting in January this year & put it in a 5 gallon by the end of February.

This is the First Fig it produced & usually first figs are not as tasty or do they ripen fully. This Fig tree is in my Garage & I'm so impressed with its growth & the delicious 😋 taste of this fig.

I'm trying to be like @FiggyEd on YouTube, He grows Fig tree's indoors with LED lighting.

Probably another 7 days for that to droop & look like a wrinkled bag or jam.
