Yippie! Count me in!

Restored Mossberg Shotgun

Very Fast Mad Minute from a SMLE- 10 Shots in 6.5 Seconds

Stripper clips and detachable ten round box mag, just to lighten the mood...personally, something belt fed...

I have heard of heating BLO to thicken it for filling wood. Tung oil and spar varnish mixed? That must be your own recipe. One time tried some stuff from Formsby that was supposedly tung oil, but it turned out have varnish in it. It did make a nice finish, a bit glossy, but it wasn't a true...

This is gonna be interesting...

Robin, in the past I've used ash for deck furniture, very much like oak in that the grain can be rather open. For your gunstock do you have to do a bunch of filling either before or after staining?

My Mossberg 351KA and 500A projects are complete, so I've been pondering a summer project, likely a muzzle loader. Years ago I did a Lyman Great Plains kit, mostly just to get another deer tag. The kit was a breeze and the rifle came out really nice. Now I'd like to step things up...not from...

Work of art, beauty!

Liberalism=psychosis

Many years ago I bought a used BLR in 308. It was scoped and had a hammer extension. Great set-up for woods hunting...took a big bodied buck with it up in Hamilton County. I sold it and have been kicking myself in the ass since. There's a Belgium bulit one for sale here in the...

Keep 'em coming....

Wow, those pipes are beautiful. And I have heard of leather dye used to color wood, never used it myself though. I've a few pipes, but I still prefer my Perdomo 'gars.

Ah yes, birch.

Making the existing finish darker can be a quick and dirty, and easy thing. Sprays will do it with little prep. Completely refinishing is another matter. As I understand, the "trench" gun replica that you speak of, if based on the original Winchester, has the beech wood stock, the original...

A lacquer toner rattle can would save a lot of work. Where in central NY are you?

When I worked at DOT, the agency didn't "take" property for transportation projects; it "acquired" it and paid market value. I held my nose a lot when worked for them...

Confiscation without compensation and police powers. Interesting story I read this morning regarding bump stocks and whether the federal government actually has police powers. No, not surgical masks, but some commonality to ponder. As we know, some say guns are a health issue....

If you strip it down to bare wood, and it is beech, and it was me, I would use a coat of 50:50 mix denatured alcohol and shellac and then color with a dye. I believe beech is one of those woods that doesn't take stain evenly, so the sealer coat helps with that. Tung has the edge over linseed...

Novelty? That's a new term for me when it comes to firearms...but I guess that would be accurate. Some of those little things can be a bit pricey though. Cool!

Didn't FUAC shut down Remington? Huge hit to the Herkimer County economy. I hope those folks get back to work Monday. The wife and I had just visited the museum shortly before the crap started...some wonderful craftsmanship on display there. Or am I confused with the bankruptcy stuff?

Welcome to the gang. I too spent many years on Wrong Island...worked out east quite a bit actually.

I hate this! Now every day there's gonna be photo of something that will empty my wallet. Have you no mercy? Will I be the only victim here? How long will this go on? Can't wait, looking forward...bored to death at home!

...it's those square eyes.....

Sad. I read down through many comments, really says it all doesn't it?

I find goat meat to be delicious. And I understand goat milk is an option for those who are lactose intolerant...some make soap from it too. And every once in awhile the news reports somebody starting up a lawn mowing business...with goats. Good grief. They are some crazy.

FUAC. As mentioned abov, Mr. HUD secretary, housing loans, market bust. Gov. alter boy, baby killer. We're not what New Yorkers are. Fuck this guy. And watch the media. It will drool over this should it come to pass. And as I'm fond of saying, think of the stupidest thing that could...

The thread is alive.... Many good points made. In the end I went with a dry tumbler...recent purchase, the price was right. I've not actually used the thing yet, but I'll be placing it outside the garage/love dungeon door when I do.

We saw Blue Man Group at Proctors in Schdy several years ago. Very entertaining indeed. I don't even trust my wife with kitchen knives....Band Aid stockholder....

Kudos to the grad student.

Me and the wife did the paper this time. We are Mutts!! You name it we is it!

I don't keep any animals, but I'm surrounded by neighbors that do...or try to. I can only say that the above comments ring true. I've actually had to get the law involved to get the critters off my property. Most folks quit with the hogs. Plenty of goats still. You will never keep them in...

Didn't FUAC take an oath?

God save us.

I would put my bear traps next to my Claymores...

There you go, because there you been. No gas for you!

I feel like a victim...is it me? Must be me....

I've been toting my P3AT for years. And like any other gun nut I've spent way too much on springs, rods, triggers, and last year had sights installed and the slide got a resin finish. Money down a rat hole. But the little fucker goes bang, easy to break down, weighs nothing, and fits in every...

Kev, awesome, super impressed!!

Yup, the 12s certainly do. Google can tell you how to measure. Boyd's website for example.

See? Now I'm obsessed with making a solution with the mink oil as the base, maybe a spray. I've some plastic 35mm film on hand, so maybe cut a slot down the side, place a rolled up and lubed strip in it, and feed it through the slot. Now that's over-thinking!!

Yay! FUNP!

Good info. I'm still a noob with my rifle. I had been using round store bought patches that were lubed with bore butter. But I want to get more serious, and hopefully more accurate. And so that's got me taking a closer look at patches and lube...I don't want to get too obsessed though.

Had a comparative anatomy class a million years ago. Took a mink completely apart. Those critters ARE greasy!

I'm on the lookout for Ballistol. I was talking with the guys at the lgs and they had never heard of it. I can find it on the net, but I don't want to pay for the shipping. Thanks for posting your recipe! How wide do you make your strips if I may ask?

Holy shit! Bet that left a mark.

I can't believe I once voted for that fucker (not much choice at the time). What a POS.

No, not the old boot stuff. This is from Track of the Wolf, "Trapper's Pure Mink Oil". So, just smear...schmeer (cream cheese? Ha!) one side of your strip and nuke for a second, then work it in. I can see that would do it. Hmm. I haven't actually used this stuff yet. I was just being cheap...

If memory serves (good luck), I think Robin once suggested milk oil for a front stuffer lube. I got a tin of it, and bought ticking from a fabric shop to use for patches. I've read recipes for moose milk and making a spray to soak patch material, but this mink oil is a different critter. I...
