    Who carries a purse?

    Working for the town of Ranchester, odd jobs, I was the back half of the garbage truck on Tuesdays.We had a couple of dumpsters on our route. I flipped back the dumpster lid and there, in it's leather glory, was a purse. Right next to it was a badger skin on a stretcher-board. I snatched them...

    The bare stock I was using as a reference doesn't have the ramrod channel drilled past the end...closed end../of the barrel. I was too lazy to take the barrel out of the great plains rifle and check. the bare stock I have is a CVA Mountain Rifle...I know I should have known CVA would get it...

    Newly discovered problem with the GPR

    I cut off the new ramrod...a story in itself... Stuck the rod in the barrel and cut it off using the muzzle as a guide. Exactly to length. Put the ramrod in the stock...too short. inches too short. you fellas and gals that have GPR. is your stock drilled deeper?

    CVA Mountain Rifle

    Sanded a bit more. The very dark finish was or is aqua fortis. The black dye was because I never neutralized the process. The stock kept getting darker and I didn't know why. The spots on the wood? Just starting to rain. Came a gullywasher. I walked in the house and it was a full blown frog...

    Cva mountain rifle

    I have a four screw mountain rifle stock...I've severely modified. My next trick is going to route out th cheekpiece area install a block of birch and carve it into a cheekpiece; I have no idea where the parts are...probably under my bed...maybe.

    I've been dissatisfied with the color of the stock. The previous pics were after three or more applications of Minwax oil based Early American finish...So...I made up some BLO based stain...Scarlet Rit...blo...and everclear. quite a bit of everclear. It was 20 year old BLO and thick. After...

    Took it to the range...I made three shots,,,my buddy made one...first shot at 25 yards took out the throat of the silhouette...second shot took out the heart and the third was in the same hole. He shot..."I'm trying for the center of the paper."..did it. Brought along the GPR...it just made the...
