And made a sling today. I need to mess around with getting the right length but it definitely will work and I can use it between guns if I want to.

Looking good Swampy. I'm a fan of cherry stocks.

May she rain shot and thunder balls!

Nice job swampy,can you tell me how you finished the metal :thumbsup: thanks

Heres some previous threads you may find helpful. :thumbsup:
It would have been better, quicker if I had a big enough sweat box in the beginning for the barrel. You just havta put the LM solution on and let it do its thing for several days applying the solution once a day, no carding. http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/257394/

Thanks swampy,great help.But did you just card it or did you rub it back some other way?

 

[rabjr]

Nope, never carded the parts. After I stopped the solution from rusting further (baking soda), I used a fine wire brush on my drill press and hit everything real good. Went over everything with steel wool, inspecting it good then hit it with baking soda again. Got my torch out and chased the moisture out of the metal heating it just enough for my bear grease mix to melt when I lathered everything with it. Let it sit for a night then I wiped the heaviest of it off. :thumbsup:

Thanks again,I'm finishing a Jackie Brown in the white smoothie right now and really like what you did.Hope you don't mind if I try to copy it :hatsoff:

 

[rabjr]

Absolutely! I have a big coffee can of the bear grease I use to coat and protect my metal parts, your welcome to a small bit of it if you want, just send me a pt or email with an address. :thumbsup:
