Actually, I didn't have any white vinegar, but I had some cleaning vinegar which is basically the same with just a tad more acidity. I looked it up and white is at 5% and cleaning vinegar is at 6%.Did you use white vinegar to neutralize the stock?
Yesterday afternoon was our first hunt. Rolled in mid day and set up camp. Scouted some and then to our hunting spots. No deer sighted yesterday. We did come across tow gut piles. Probably from this week some time. One was from a buck.That's great! How's the hunting been? Planning to get out myself this weekend.
Looking good.Almost done.

It takes me awhile to work my courage up and practice helps.Looking good.
Every time I want to put a patch box on a rifle, I choke.
The right side of a gun is like the right side of an HD Sportster.
It's the pretty side and you don't want to screw it up.
That's good to know because I've been wanting to try that.Last weekend I coned the muzzle of the rifle in my avatar, with one of Joe Wood's tools. I shot it for the first time today and at 50 yards, neither the group size nor point of impact changed, but it's much easier to load.
I put a toe plate on this one too and was thinking about a nose cap, but there just isn't enough wood there for me to feel comfortable with.Yeah, I'm going to pass on the patch box on mine, but I will add a toe plate. That's my current limit.
Great shooting and a nice Ford. I had a red one like that years ago with the same unibody.Tested out some 128gr maxi balls I cast in the .36 frontier. 40gr 3f, dry felt OP wad. Maxis lubed with tallow/beeswax mix. Need to drift the front sight just a smidgen.

I wanted to see how it was going to perform without swabbing in between shots. 5th and final shot was a massive flyer. Shooting these Maxi balls makes for a NASTY cleanup!!
I was super happy with the load and rifle. Sqwerls beware!

Nice group and nice old pickup too.
