[Thor]

Nice job! Looks purty.

Nice job! Looks purty.

Thanks! I just put the second coat of polyurethane on it and it looks even better. I'll put the 3rd coat on tomorrow, then I can put the trigger guard and butt plate back on and get to the cleaning of the bore and clean/lube the action and it should be good to go.

After 2 coats:

3rd coat of polyurethane on. Now I wait for everything to get good and dry.

That is so cool. DD. On so many levels.

Thanks CM. There was a time that I never thought this day would come (huge back story that I won't go into). Makes me happy to have this chance.

I already know sir.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I already know sir.

Yes, you do.

 

[churchmouse]

Yes, you do.

Things we do that make this season worth while. It is for the kids and the woman folk.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Stock done, and trigger guard and butt plate put back on.

Very nice. Your work is inspiring! I nice winter project awaits me to re-do my poor sad looking Speedmaster.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Thanks B&G! It's been a fun project, especially knowing it's going to make my grandson happy. Now just have to do a clean and lube and get it all put back together.

 

[gregkl]

Very nice!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

And the finished product! The action was a little dirty, so it needed a good cleaning but everything looked to be in good shape.

Don't know about fighting, but at least now we know it shoots, and shoots well! I would not be afraid of fighting any squirrels with it.

Nice work DD, looks great! Hope the gson enjoys it.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Thanks bc! I'm sure he will. He's a little small for his age, so the stock might be a little long for him at first, but he'll grow into it. And I'd rather give him something he'll grow into rather than grow out of.

Getting close to the big day! Taking the grandkids to see the Winterlights at Newfields Christmas light display Friday night, then opening their presents Saturday morning. DoggyMama actually suggested that I take the grandson to try out his "new" rifle Saturday morning so she can spend some time with the granddaughters and he gets to "play" with his new toy.

Sounds like a good time DD,
