I got curious and looked at other classic US pump shotguns for hunting to see who still makes one. In 2024 Browning discontinued their BPS according to several trade magazine articles. It looks like Remington is on life support as folks wait to see if they can turn their business around and...

The video below is about declining gun makers. I've linked it to start at the segment on Remington, which this video ranks as the #1 greatest tragedy in American sporting arms.

Chip From 2014 to somewhere around 2020 Remington manufactured their guns right here in Huntsville, Al. That's about the same time they fell on hard times. Numerous multi-multi million dollar lawsuits from Sandyhook families and other wrongful death lawsuits took their toll. Plus Remington's...

Same here but have never seen that reported.

Dave I can remember when Jeff Smith was using one of the early search engines and entered "ebony wood." He got a real surprise!

I don't think a false feather edge, as you call it, will even be noticeable. Attach it, plane it, glass it, and paint it. It will look like its supposed to.

Jode That thought entered my mind and I agree, seniority should count for something. At the very least we aren't a fly-by-night scam site.

Why do you think I went with a hard dodger? That's a big part of it. I could make it myself and not suffer through explaining to a local canvas shop what was in my mind's eye.

Has anyone noticed the prominence Google gives our site when you search duck boats or some similar term. We land somewhere in the top four. On other duck hunting related topics we seem to be getting high ranks as well. Brad Bortner mentioned the recent New York Times article on budget cuts...

You've been on a boat building tear this summer. After this project have you got more lined up?

One thing to note. In order to scan these catalogs and have them be good and clear the required resolution makes the document grow to a very large size. Too large for our website. Therefore, I'm just keeping the pages that are waterfowl related. Sadly, this means to really cool big game...

Thanks. That link cleared up another catalog I have. I'll try and post the 1962 this weekend. I must admit I don't remember the 878 semi-auto. It must not have had a long run or for some other reason isn't mentioned amongst duck hunters. At least that I recall.

SJ Thanks for clarifying. I want to mention I really appreciate the pictures you are posting, not only of the boat, but of the strongback too. That seems like a really functional structure to build on. It's stuff like this that really helps a future builder. Some people didn't grow up...

SJ Did you bevel the ribs to meet the planks flush? I see shavings on the floor but can't quite see if there are gaps between the ribs and planks. Maybe they fall close enough on their own.

Wow! Sweet lines and the subtle paint is very classy.

I picked up this hand plane at an estate sale close to my house Sat morning. When I bought it I had no idea what it was and had to research it. Anyone ever hear of an Irish Chariot Plane? Me neither until Saturday after a bunch of internet searching. The iron (blade) simply is held in place by...
