    GPR kit question

    After the final sanding I was going to put a dark stain on it. In a post from Zonie he said to wet the stock down with water to see what it will look like finished, after looking at it wet I forgot about staining it. After it dried I sealed with LMF sealer and finished with LMF gun stock finish...

    Which parts to harden

    Lock came as a complete unit, only part that was hardened was the tumbler and that was a replacement part, the original had a big chunk of metal missing. Any way when I order another kit at least I will know what to look for. It was a good learning experiance and fun smoking up the shed while...

    GPR kit question

    Left mine on while doing the final sanding then removed them for stock finishing and parts browning. Had to glass bed the nose cap, it was loose to start with. Came out real nice, good luck with yours. Pins were easy, used an old drill bit that was a little smaller dia. than the pin, ground the...

    Which parts to harden

    Who knows about Barking?

    My dear old Grandfather, who lived in Kentucky always barked squirls with his 12ga. shot gun. He was real good at it. He always got a lot of squirls and probally managed to kill half the trees in the Danial Boone national forest. :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:
