New barrel on the 22 coupled with the red dot sight Lillian got me for my birthday
3 shots. 25 yards.

Fitting new barrel on 22 rifle
The Fitment was extremely tight. Lillian put the barrel in the freezer, I but the receiver in the oven on 250 for 30 min. One expanded, one contracted, & we were able to tap them together with a rubber mallet and a little anti seize lubricant.
You can see here the hot receiver thawing the frost from the barrel.

Eight candles makes a lot of fire!

Very close game of competitive squirrel killin’
Beat Lillian by 3 points

It’s been decades since I painted these miniature game pieces.
It’s been really relaxing to do this in the evening with Lillian though. Perhaps I should break out some canvases again.
