    New gun

    Hello all, Here are a few pictures of my newest purchase. I picked this up the other day for a song. It is a non American barreled CVA kit built rifle. I do not know who the builder was but like the last it has a ton of lumber that needs to be removed. My plan is to do the same things as I did...

    Trying my hand at a TOTW patch knife.

    Here is an update, I used five minute epoxy dyed it black with some paint, thinned the handles because they did seem out of scale for the blade. Here is a pic. Just waiting on the epoxy to dry then its off to shaping land!!

    Just picked up two Zouaves

    Thanks Hawkeye, one thing that I have noticed is that the Replica arms rifles barrel is stamped Korea and that the Zoli gun is stamped Made In Italy. Also the Zoli gun is much heavier. I will take a closer look at the two tomorrow and post some pics. Df

    Trying my hand at a TOTW patch knife.

    Pins?? what type of pins. My first plan if others agreed that it was a bit thick was to countersink them deeper and take it down. But now I am curious about the pins?? Df

    Trying my hand at a TOTW patch knife.

    Well since I have been in the mood of trying to make stuff I thought that I would try one of these knife kits. This one is call a patch knife by Track of the Wolf.
