Well, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel....
The metalwork is all pretty much finished. Last week Supercracker and I finished getting everything fitted and I drilled the touchhole. We disassembled everything and I brought the stock home for final finishing...
I hit it with 100 grit, 120, 220, 320, 400, and 600 sandpaper and then stained it with some Laurel Mountain stain. Here's what it looked like after 1 coat...
After another coat I began applying sealer. It took several coats of sealer before she started to tell me she was getting full. I let her sit overnight and then began hand rubbing in the finisher. Here's the first coat drying....
I'm not sure how many more coats before it's all good but I figure by the end of the week we'll be THROUGH!!!
Looking great!
Well she's done! Thnaks a TON to supercracker for the help! Range report next weekend after delivery to it's new owner!
Can't wait to get started on the next one, a .54 poor boy barn gun....
(sorry for the blurry pictures)
Like a piece of art. Its easy to see the passion you have for your hobby. Looks like your mug is empty, time for a refill to celebrate the job well done.
I've always wanted to do a left hander kit for myself, but there is a lot of work on these things I have no clue about.
VERY nice work:cool:
