I like to use a shop vac with a genuine horse hair brush to remove the sanding dust. It leaves NO dust unlike tack cloth if not used properly. Gets in all the tiny spots much better as well.

Geeeeeeez.............that's purdy!! Nice job!

I would be somewhat concerned that the oil based red oak stain would seal the surface to a degree. You may not get the penetration that the oil finish is inherently known for. I have never attempted this and I'm sure somebody will pipe up that has. Interesting question 7th.

Yeh.....That's all I had around when I ran into trouble and didn't have Ed's recipe!

Try a 60/40 mix of Dexron transmission fluid and acetone. Let it soak for a day and there's a good chance it will break free.

I am not impressed with the quality of Remington firearms (also includes H & R, Marlin and Bushmaster) since Cerberus/Freedom Arms took over. 2007 I believe. They need to get their feces in a group. I definitely would look at a Ruger.

I picked my Minwax Antique Oil Finish up at my local Farm And Fleet in Chippewa Falls. I like the product, however, I did take some 0000 steel wool to the final finish. After three coats and steel wool lightly between coats, it was a bit shiny for my liking. Turned out a beautiful satin when I...

I don't understand why your local gun store clerk/former LEO says to stay away from Beretta. Mine is flawless after maybe 1000 rounds, does fit me well and was very affordable. I do agree that what works for me might not work for you. Kinda like dentures! I figure any gun manufacturer that...

Remember that those who have completed a Wisconsin Hunters Education class will qualify after approval by the Wisconsin DOJ. All that will be required is a photocopy of the card you received in the mail after course completion. For those who have been "grandfatherd" in, you will be required to...

We're good to go folks! Law becomes effective Nov. 1, 2011. I spoke to the WI Dep't. of Justice office yesterday and the lady recommended waiting a couple of weeks for them to "get their ducks in a row" for application info and to keep watching their websight: http://www.doj.state.wi.us/ It...

We do have our work cut out for us with the vote coming likely, the first part of June. I did have to share remarks from a fellow forum member elsewhere........ Senate Bill 93 (sb93) is constitutional carry with optional permit system. Should be voted on in June - but there are people...

Yeh......and now look at this. NOTE: Highlighted red would be my load. My Beretta short-cycled until I tried 6.8 grs. of the AA-7. RainierBallistics Reloading Data 9mm Luger Gun Obermeyer Max Length 0.754" Barrel Length 4" Trim Length...

Accurate Arms suggests starting at 5.7 grs. and maxing at 6.7 grs. with this bullet/powder combo. There is no "given" variable between these two primers and only one grain between minimum and maximum. I think using the magnum primers vs. the small pistol primers, I'll start at about 5.2 grs...

I have some magnum small pistol primers (which I would like to "burn up") and the reloading data I have found recommends small pistol primers for 9mm Luger. I will be using Accurate Arms AA-7 powder 115 gr. Rainier round nose bullets. Here's my question: If using magnum small pistol primers...

Blain's Farm and Fleet also carries this product. Now that I have seen the final results, I will pick up a can tomorrow. I have a Marlin 336 that is crying for a re-do.
