The 50 caliber plains rifle build continues, not nearly as fast as I had hoped. We’ve been working on the stock recently and it’s really starting to take shape. There is some really nice looking grain in the stock. Good looking for a kit gun in my opinion. My goal is to have it ready for the Chisholm Trail Spring Rendezvous. It will be sweet to compete with a rifle I’ve built.
Anyway, that’s it for now. Keep your powder dry.
Deep Fried elk or deer steak!!! 2 lbs. steak cut thin, like 1/4 thick or so, marinated in a half a 12 oz. beer. Flour on a plate, add 4 Tablespoons Garlic poewdr, 1 Tablespoon Black Pepper, and 1 Tablespoon Salt. In a bowl add 2 eggs and 1/4 cup mustard. Drain beer, and pour in egg mustard mix, and hand mix. I like corn oil, set around 350 in a large size fryin pan 1/2 inch deep. flip steaks to the flour mix then fry till color starts to change, I like 5 mins then flip with 5 more mins. Serve with mash potatoes and a salad. Creamy dressings such as blue cheese, top this meal off nicely. Enjoy!!
