Hello to all, I purchased a flintlock GPR kit and I noticed a small threaded hole in the middle of my tang. I also have a GPR percussion rifle that I purchased a couple years ago that came already finished and it has a plug screw in this hole, my kit did not come with this plug screw. Does anyone know what the purpose of this small hole is for?
I refinished the stock on my percussion rifle because in my opinion they come stained way to dark. I sanded it down and put 10 coats of Tru-Oil on it and then I took the sheen off with some 0000 steel wool. While I had it apart I browned the barrel and all the iron parts except the trigger and the lock, it looks much better now. On my kit rifle I would like to keep the walnut as light as possible and I was wondering if anyone has used Tru-Oil only after the sanding is finished.
I have been reading this forum for a few months now and I must say it is truely a valuable source of information. Thanks to any replies.
