Pedersoli Frontier Rebuild Underway

[Spikebuck]

I made the comment in my other thread on this project that I don't necessarily recommend doing all this to a factory gun. I had this for a number of years and never used it much. Made a good "kit" gun project for about $300 including the barrel rebore.

A lot of the motivation for doing this project was just to see what I could do with it...practice for future work. As some have commented, my project gives others with this popular gun a good list of things they can "shop" from and maybe do to their gun for a few hours labor and virtually no cost.

Looking Good ! :thumbsup:
That linseed oil really popped the wood..
Patch box fits well in the scheme..
Nothing like a redo for great build workup.
Long and lean...
Thanks for taking the time to have us tag along.

I'll bet that would look great on that "snowshoe race-shoot" out east next winter.. :wink:
