    Filling Pin Holes

    If the trigger guard is slightly proud of the wood, couldn't you just file the guard down a bit?

    Rice's new Nock lock

    I've built 4 rifles with this lock and have #5 waiting in the wings. Everyone has been pleased with it. I had no issues at all with inletting it. My personal rifle that I use in our monthly shooting match (the one with the patchbox) has this lock. It's very fast and goes bang every time. It's...

    Ash pistol

    For a change of pace, I thought I would tackle a nothing fancy pistol. Here's what I ended up with. The curly ash blank came from Tom Fornicola. The lock is a small Siler. The 40 cal Rice barrel is 3/4"x12". The stock pores were filled with Timbermate ebony filler then sanded back, then stained...

    Rust bluing with LMF browning solution ?

    Just keep repeating the process. It will turn darker with each coat. When you get to the color you like, stop. I boil after each application, but some people only boil one time. I reuse the distilled water. You can use the water from a dehumidifier as well.

    I use styrofoam insulation panels that you can get from Lowes or Home Depot. Cut 3 pieces to fit inside the box. Lay 1 piece on the bottom of the box. Lay another piece that has the rifle shape cut out on top of that. Put the rifle in that piece. Lay the other piece over top of that. You just...

    Rust bluing barrel boiling questions ?

    I use a piece of galvanized chain link fence post pipe. File a notch in the end for a piece of steel rod. Hang the barrel with a piece of wire through the tang hole. Pour in boiling water. You can then heat the pipe with a propane torch to keep the water boiling if you wish. The other end is...

    Help regarding factory stock finish.......way too shiny.

    Got this tip from Bill Shipman at the CLA show - mix rottenstone with mineral oil and apply in a circular motion with a soft toothbrush. It works really well.

    Rib under barr ,? On tapping

    Clean the barrel and the underside of the rib with sandpaper. Squirt the solder from the syringe onto the barrel flat and spread it around. Clamp the rib to the barrel with several C-clamps. Clamp the middle first and work to the ends. Apply heat to the whole assembly to kind of warm things up...

    Rib under barr ,? On tapping

    I use Solder-It paste to solder on the ribs. It has the flux mixed in with the solder. You can heat it with a propane torch. Available at Home Depot or online. I've done bunches of ribs with this stuff. Super easy to use.

    The name is a contraction for Gerhart-Owen Explosives.

    Rust bluing options ?

    Yep, with LMF you brown and boil. The only downside is this is a several days long process. Lately, I've been using Mark Lee's Express Blue. You heat the barrel and swab on the solution then boil and card it. Repeat until you get the color you want. You can have it done in a day.

    Perfect Range Rod

    I second the rods from Rice Barrel. They are available in different lengths and diameters, and they come with a muzzle protector. Very reasonably priced.
