How to Change a Savage Model 110 Stock
Lay a towel or a cloth on your work area to prevent scratching your Savage 110.
Check to make sure that your rifle is not loaded. Remember gun safety rules, and even though your rifle is not loaded, do not let the barrel point towards yourself or others.
Lay the rifle on the towel. Turn the rifle so that the bottom is facing up, and the sights (if present) are laying on the towel.
Remove the hex screw on the forearm of the rifle. It would normally be positioned on the bottom of the rifle, but because the rifle is upside-down, it will be facing up. Use the appropriate size Allen wrench, as different year models of the Savage 110 may have different screw sizes and tolerances. As the hex screws are removed, pay very close attention to which hole they came out of. The hex screws are not interchangeable, and must be replaced in the same location.
Remove the hex screw from the front (towards the barrel) of the trigger guard. Leave the hex screw at the rear of the trigger guard in place.
Remove the rifle stock. It will pull off easily in one piece, with the trigger guard attached.
Remove the hex screw at the rear of the trigger guard, and remove the trigger guard. Some replacement stocks come with a new trigger guard, but if yours does not, then you will be re-installing yours on the new stock.
Place either your existing or new trigger guard in place on the new stock. Using either the hex screw you had removed from the rear of the trigger guard--or the new one supplied with a new trigger guard--screw the rear hex screw of the trigger guard into place until the screw is seated snugly. Do not over-tighten any of the hex screws.
Place the replacement stock in position on the metal body of the rifle.
Using either the hex screw you had removed from the front of the trigger guard, or the new one supplied with a new trigger guard, screw the front hex screw of the trigger guard into place until the screw is seated snugly. This screw pulls the new stock and the metal body of the rifle together.
Take the hex screw that was removed from the forearm of the rifle. Position it in place, and screw it in until it is snug. Your new Savage 110 stock in now attached.

How to Paint Stock Cabinets
Wipe down the stock cabinets with liquid deglosser and a rag. Stock cabinets come prefinished with a slick exterior, and this glossy coating doesn't accept paint easily. Don't sand a stock cabinet exterior, as many feature thin veneers that are easily damaged. Liquid deglosser should be all you need to make the surface matte enough for paint coverage.
Remove the cabinet hardware, including the hinges. Most prefabricated cabinetry hardware is removable with a screwdriver.
Place loose doors and drawers on a plastic sheet for easier painting.
Stick painter's tape to wall surfaces and countertops in case of stray brush strokes.
Apply general-purpose primer to the cabinets, doors and drawers. Use a synthetic-bristle paintbrush for more precise control around edges, and use a medium-nap roller for larger cabinetry surfaces. Wait for the primer to dry before proceeding. Some general-purpose primers take up to 12 hours to dry, so you should consult the primer's container for the manufacturer's recommended drying times.
Paint the cabinets, doors and drawers, using high-gloss oil-base paint. Glossy finishes are easier to keep clean, a very important feature for kitchen and bathroom spaces. Use a natural-bristle paintbrush for tight spaces and a new medium-nap roller on the main expanses.
Apply a second coat of paint once the first coat dries, usually in two to three hours.
Remove the painter's tape, reattach the hardware and reinstall the drawers after the second coat has dried for at least 24 hours.

How to Stock Your Farm Pond
Check the depth of the farm pond using a fishing rod with a heavyweight sinker to reach the bottom 8 feet and a bobber. Eight feet is a minimum depth for an optimum fish environment.
Remove any overabundance of weeds and aquatic vegetation that might prevent fishing as growth becomes more prolific. Check for holes in the dam from muskrats or other rodents and repair before stocking.
Stock channel catfish fish in the fall first. Stock less than 50 channel catfish fish per acre.
Stock bluegill and minnows or any other feeder fish in the fall. Stock bass and predator fish in the spring so they can feed off the feeder fish, bluegill and fathead minnow beams after breeding takes place in the spring.
Check for winterkill. Count how many bass and other predator fish die so you can replace them when spring arrives to maintain a balance of predator/prey fish.
Watch for summerkill. Replenish any fish that die out during the summer or you harvest through fishing so you can maintain an ideal balanced environment.
