    You could draw up a pattern then carve and inlay another species of wood as decoration.

    boar hunting questions ?

    If this is redundant, I apologize. Be sure you know where the lungs are. If you shoot a hog the same as you do a deer, you will lose it. A perfect broadside hog will find the goods hidden behind the shoulder plate, as in you would aim right on the shoulder instead on behind it. As was...

    It's a pretty good run on a horse that's for sure.

    Kicking the perverbial horse

    Thanks Paul, as a bowyer I am familiar with steam bending but it never occurred to me about trying on 2" stock. You do make a good point about stock being different from piece to piece. All the input has given me some ideas for a sled for the router table, many thanks to all. For all those...

    Kicking the perverbial horse

    I guess the next question I have would be on jigs. The wood I have is square as far as the top and sides being adjacent but over the length of the blank is not 100% straight. These were taken from rough cut lumber. The tools I have are just not adequate to get it straight. Since I can't rely on...

    Kicking the perverbial horse

    Hey Robby, Is that just a 45 degree bit? Also, it looks like it's flattened at the point, or it could just be my poor eyesight teasing me.

    Kicking the perverbial horse

    Forgive me if I dwell too long on the modern tools for traditional equipment, I am slow to convert my ways. Has anyone looked in to/tried a custom router bit for barrel channels. Realizing this would only be effective on straight barrels. I think I am way to new to building for swamped.

    How clean is clean?

    Thanks all. I will get out pick up some brakecleana and gasoline the do a dance in the moonlight..... :grin: The thanks are sincere, I will take all advice to heart and see what happens. I have used brake/carb cleaner on firearms before but never my ML's. Hadn't really crossed my mind but...

    How clean is clean?

    So I have the new GPR, and got it all fitted together and following instructions on cleaning the bore for the first time. I have soaked in WD-40 over night and once all day. I have brushed it out and I have even used some Rem-clean on it several times. It seems that each time I achieve a clean...

    What to expect?

    I am a little calmer this morning and decided to take a look at things again. Since there were a couple of people that mentioned the breech I started there. Remove the two tang screws and hooked the barrel in. Giving a little pressure to the back of the rifle did indeed yield a little space. Now...

    What to expect?

    I looked it over pretty good in the channel and it all looks pretty clear but the snail is definitely hitting the lock. It lacks at least 1/16" if not an 1/8" from sitting down in where it needs too. Thanks for the info, I will get in the right mindset.

    What to expect?

    Has anyone got experience with Lyman's customer service? I just recieved my new GPR today and to my disappointment can't even assemble it. The lock is improperly located in the stock so the snail will not fit down in it's cubby therefore the barrel barrel will not seat in the channel. I also...

    More noob questions

    Thanks Moose. I should have plenty of practice wood. I stumbled in to a pretty good deal today, a local mill had some CM so I took the hour drive up to gander. I came home with a 2x12x8' piece that was very rough sawn. The guy told me it had some good curl but I couldn't see a thing. Of course...
