    No. I didn't double ball luckily. I was able to get those balls out by just by putting some powder behind ball through the touch hole and that worked pretty well.

    Yeah, it sucks because I really liked the figure of that wood. Hopefully on Monday I’ll call Traditions and see if I can get a replacement of some kind.

    I don't know why, but more cracks and the cracks that already formed are getting deeper. For example, a new crack just showed up where the tang is and it's growing. Any help is appreciated. I don't know the issue with the wood, but it seems like it's expanding and cracking due to some sort of...

    Well, the gun performed great. I dry balled it a couple times but other than that it worked fine. When I got home and started cleaning I noticed that the stock was all out of wack. I noticed some cracking and bulging from the wood. I was devestated. I don’t know what could have caused this...

    I’m excited to shoot and see how it performs! Building the gun was so rewarding, and with a little time and patience I think you can make it into an amazing gun.

    New Shooter Question on Cleaning

    Water and little soap is able to break up fouling very easily. All the experienced shooters I know use water, but I imagine that this "Shooter's Lube" works fine as well. You might just have to experiment with what your gun likes.

    I used Birchwood Casey Walnut and Birchwood Casey Rusty Walnut. I applied 4 coats of walnut, letting the coats dry completely before applying another. I then added 2 coats of Rusty Walnut and let the stock dry. It’s a little darker and a little redder IRL than in the picture.

    SOLD Blevins Club Butt Fowler

    I'm about as broke as they come. Will a $20 dollar Chic-fil-a gift card and a silver dollar work? 😂

    Wow, Ive made a lot of progress since my last post! Sorry for not recording my progress as much as I did, I was having too much fun with the build! Anyway, I browned the barrel and stained the stock. I’m planning on aging the buttplate and patchbox and I’ve already aged the trigger guard and...
