Re: Stock Refinishing

I did two shotguns in the past, was very happy with them. The really beat up one is the top one in the finished picture.

Re: Stock Refinishing

Looks awesome! How does tung oil compare to linseed? And which satin poly did you use? I may finish with a coat to protect it

Im finding the stock I have is a lower grade wood, but it was given to me so im not complaining.

Re: What wears on a revolver

What would a fair price on a ruger police service six stainless be? I know current situation has things screwed up Keep your eye out here. I can swear I recently saw one under $600. I think without anyone trying to hit lotto on an old gun they have that they come in around mid $500 https://gunsariz...

Re: What wears on a revolver

I like the look of the security six too! But .. if your mostly shooting 38 and carrying 357 .. you might want to put the prelock S&W 19 on the list to look out for. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=S%26W+model+19&t=newext&atb=v271-1&iax=images&ia=images Dang! Those mod 19’s look sweet ...

Stock Refinishing

Project I just atarted. Refinishing an A bolt stock with a Linseed oil finish. Will post after photos once finished! Who else prefers linseed oil hand finish over the old resin/poly coating some of the older wood stocks had? Pictures are what I started with. Already stripped old finish off and steam...

Re: What wears on a revolver

Lots of good info, I think for a carry pistol im not as worried how it shoots magnum loads and would prefer having a smaller frame. I really like the look of the older revolvers like the sec six or speed six

Re: What wears on a revolver

I was definitely thinking 3-4” barrel. I started looking at the sp101 and they make it in a 6 shot 327mag. Seems to have similar energy with lighter weight bullets since its loaded to higher pressures. Any experience with 327 mag over 357mag?

Re: Marlin 1898

Turns out its a model 21. I was told it was an 1898 and didnt bother looking over it more carefully until today. Still an old gun, made between 1907-1908

Re: What wears on a revolver

Im looking for a carry gun when im out hunting. It will be open/outside waistband carry. I definitely want it to be chambered in at least 357 or else I will just continue to carry my 9 hunting. Nelson ford does some damn good work, my dad had a 686 done by him.

Re: What wears on a revolver

Is there something used you have your eye on at a good price! If your not opposed to new because of the associated paperwork the Ruger Sp101 and my favorite the gp100 are hard to beat and have a no bs warranty. I liked the look of the older rugers, maybe I should give the sp101 and gp100 another lo...

Re: What wears on a revolver

What is the function of the forcing cone? At what point is one too worn to be worth purchasing? I would have though a 357 revolver would need a lot of rounds put through it before it would wear to the point that it isnt accurate

Re: Tikka bolt guns

Picking up a Tikka bolt gun has been on my list for a while. Lots of aftermarket parts to replace/upgrade just about everything. Great accuracy and very true action from the factory. Ive notice a little bolt slop working the action but a very smooth operating action at that.

What wears on a revolver

I have been looking at getting a 357 smaller frame revolver for a while, like the looks of the ruger speed or security six. What should I look for as far as wear parts? I dont know what typically wears in a revolver.

Thanks
