I have read about the armor all trick before but never saw a video of someone doing it I’ve never done it myself but surely would be something to experiment with if you are so inclined…Maybe someday I’ll give it a try. I would probably rather experiment on handgun grips vs a rifle stock. If...

Good idea!

Using steel wool at most any phase of finishing is anathema IMO. I use 3M scuff pads which come in different levels of coarseness. I must admit that when I need an extremely fine knock down of a previous coat of finish I do use steel wool, but only Elephant brand and only 0000 grade. I have...

I haven’t been able to get the spay can version for a while. As stated, I do spray TruOil (thinned with naphtha using an airbrush) but the old cans did put a very thin coat (which would run very easily if put on even a little too heavy). I would use the cans if the person I was finishing the...

TruOil is not your typical BLO type of finish. I have sprayed on very heavy coats of it and also applied it as heavy as possible by hand. I do have a drying box but it simply accelerates curing time it is not magic. My drying box consists of a chipboard box that will hold about 4 rifle stock...

I’ve used it for years, thick coats, thin coats, hand rubbed, sprayed on, you name it and I never had it not cure. I even applied it on old surplus military stocks that had gun oil absorbed into the wood that I could not completely remove. However I agree with the post that said that you are...

PM sent.

I find the plum colored frame interesting and I like it. I used to have a hot bluing setup and there were some cast parts that came out of the tank plum. Back then I was not happy when that happened but there was really nothing I could do about it. On your revolver I think that it looks great...

Tried to register on ASSR forum and got this message "Oops - we don't serve your kind here." What The _____?"

Nice site, I did not know about it, thanks!

Check out Phil Coffins tutorial, it still takes some skills and tools but compared to using a solid piece of wood and removing what you don’t need from the inside…it is the only way to go. And, you would never know that it is made from 3 pieces of wood vs one, unless you removed the grip. And...

I'll take it.

The link worked for me.

The general opinion seems to be that if you intend to shoot it a lot, stay away from the brass frame versions. Regarding contributing to the forum, the membership is very reasonable and allows you to access the boards that you found restricted. Money well spent for what I consider the best...

Good deal.

It’s a steal at that price. I don’t need it, got some, but if I didn’t I’d jump on it. It should not last long at that price and its condition!

No, but I'm a local online auction addict. I've gotten some great deals and some losers but I haven't stopped yet.

I think we all know that Uberti makes firearms other than BP. I guess their smokeless powder firearms are replicas too. I have a SAA El Patron in 9mm Luger, an 1873 .22 revolver and an 1873 lever action rifle in .357 mag. Though they are, in essence, replicas they IMO, stand apart in their...

Ridiculous post.

I wouldn’t be surprised if over 50% of those of us on this forum are hoarders. My own dear mother (God rest her soul) called me a hoarder and I don’t deny that. When I have watched the hoarder TV show, I can relate to many of the comments made by the hoarders. Among them, I just might need it...
