Nice gun.

I’ve got one in 32 with both a flint and cap lock, though it primarily lives with the flint lock installed. For as much as some complain about Pedersoli, my Scout has proven to be quite the dependable and handy rifle.

You did a really nice job on that olskool.

Nice job. Really like the stock finish. What did you use?

olskool · Tuesday at 6:53 AM

on the wood I had to take off a ton of wood! I sanded to 220 then I stained the walnut with fiebing's leather dye in medium brown, it turned the stock an ugly orange, then I put varathane dark walnut stain on top. then 6 coats of chambers original oil,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

So you screwed it up before you made it pretty? LOL I really like that color. What is an easier way, with one stain?? hahaha Fantastic color though. I have one in .50 Flintlock that is too medium/light brown when I wanted to stay away from orange/red. I'd be thrilled with your color. I browned my barrel (Laurel) and it helps make mine look better than I think blued/black would.

you are right, I put on that leather dye and was sickened! so I had nothing to lose and put on some old dark walnut and that did the trick! it gave it a reddish undertone that looks very nice. my wife loves it, I am going to change the rear site to a traditional fixed,,,,,,,,,,,,

Great little cap gun. As stated above, that’s my preferred wood finish. Great job!
