    finishing walnut stocks

    I am going with the non staining but I do have some blond wood that needs to be darken. Then go with the tung oil finish. Thanks for all the good inputs and seeing all those good looking guns.

    finishing walnut stocks

    First walnut stocked pistol. Should the stock be whiskered like curly maple. Should the grain be filled with Birchwood Casey filler and then stained? Any way to prevent chipping while carving? I am going to final finish with Danish Oil or Keith Casteel oil woodstock finish.

    tutorials Oct/rnd inletting

    Mike, thanks. That is what I was hoping to hear and from a real good gun maker. This pistol will be stocked in walnut. This is also a first for me. Any difference than stocking in curly maple?

    Barrel maker

    I have a .50 cal swamped barrel stamped ELM 81. It appears to be modern not an antique. Does anybody have any idea who the maker might be?

    Thimbles on half stock

    I am building a half stock rifle and am confused about the ramrod thimbles. I watched Turpins video but did not get the part about filing the area down on the rib where the thimble will be attached.I have experimented with a spare piece of rib but filing it left an unsightly gap. Any suggestions.

    nose caps

    Am trying to build the "perfect pistol" to enter in Dixons. Probably can't happen but my question is should the front face of the nose cap be inside or soldered on to the front. Hershel House in his video puts it on outside but the ones you buy are all on the inside. I have made one piece caps...

    MLBS Oct to round Barrels

    I am thinking of building a pistol using MLBS oct to round barrel. Their barrels are oct to round but the round section is swamped. I am wondering how tough it would be to inlet a barrel like that and how to attach sights and barrel lugs.

    octagon to round inlet

    I am thinking of using a MBS octagon to round pistol barrel for my next pistol build. Is the barrel normally inletted straight to the diameter and flats of the barrel or are they inletted around the wedding bands?
