My New Birthday rifle

[CG6018]

Happy Birthday, and Best Wishes for many more. :hatsoff:
Enjoy that beautiful rifle for years to come, and enjoy many hunts with the fine friend who built it. :thumbsup:
And, the lock position looks just fine to me. :wink:

Another belated Happy Birthday Longhunter. What a beautiful rifle. You're a blessed man to have such a good friend. Many more years of making smoke, blessings to you.

Very nice. Quite the piece of wood too. The butt carving looks to be very tastefully executed. Can we see some close ups, and the patch box (I presume it has one)?

Happy Birthday :hatsoff:

Congrats! Good friends like that are pretty rare. Blessed are those that do. I'm sure he feels the same appreciation about your friendship. Good friends and family are what making a life complete is all about! Greg

No patch box, I didn't want one

Wow!! WOW!! That's a gorgeous rifle. I need friends like yours!!

 

[Col. Batguano]

Do you know what stain and finish was put on there?

 

[Ron LaClair]

Do you know what stain and finish was put on there?

2 coats wakon bay aqua fortis, allowed to dry
brushed with heat gun, rubbed back-hand rubbed Laurel mtn. Forge sealer- proper dose bone black

 

[Col. Batguano]

So it was 2 coats of AF and THEN blushed, or 1 coat, blush, 1 coat, blush. Then knocked back with sandpaper or something. Then the sealer coat after that? Or did I miss something?

What's "proper dose bone black"?

 

[Ron LaClair]

I didn't finish the rifle. That's the builder discretion, I don't believe I'd use anything as abrasive as sandpaper to polish. :nono:

 

[Electric Miner]

Beautiful!

 

[mr.flintlock]

You have some REALLY good friends! By the way, beautiful rifle!
