    Question For Double Barrel Shooters

    Speaking of uncapping the unfired barrel what is the best way. I usually use my pocket knife but this usually damages the cap too much or flips it out into the grass to never be found again. I know the cost of a cap isnt too awful much but waste not want not. Berk

    Wood filler question

    I have been told that you can add artist oil paint (burnt umber in the tube) to epoxy to color it. I have not tried this so you might want to do a test piece before putting it on a stock. Berk
