Wife is up and healed from her hip replacement enough to be growling at me when i get too hovering so I just did some shop cleaning. got down through the multiple layers of stuff on half the back bench. found a couple locks i had forgotten about. Both full size. could have saved some mad money on the last parts I bought.
after I got bored with cleaning (first 20 seconds), I mean really bored (2 hours of cleaning) I laid out some grip panels for the 1858 Remington on a cut off from the inlet maple stock i am ignoring over there in the corner. the Remington was missing one when i got it. tried to lay it out so the stripes went longitudinally . figured they would be less likely to snap in half that way. might like it, might not.
It is for me so who cares!
never had had much use for the BP hand guns but I really have always liked the looks of the Remington.
also i find myself with 3 1847 walkers two of which are shooters. so now i have no excuse but to get them smoking.
