We're still dealing with the MN stay at home mandate due to covid 19, and I just thought I'd share a little project I got into looking for something to do.
Recently (last few months) I had picked up a couple of old Bauer .25 ACP mouse gun pistols, and buying some spare parts for refurbishing them, I realized I have no box or papers for them. Also, now that I made them look really nice again, a tiny cardboard box might not do them justice. Ah, finally a use for those old Levi's wallet gift tin boxes I've hung onto for all these years that my wife said I should throw away "because you'll never use them." She's right about that once in a while, but not this time at least.
So I just found a some piece of foam I also had lying around that also 'I'd never use', and some piece of satin type material again I just happened to have in a rags drawer. Razor knife, heavy duty tape, scissors, glue, ect., and I spent a couple hours making a nice little display box for one of the little guns. I also found a .pdf of an original Bauer Operating Guide and Parts List online, so I printed out a copy.
I have another tin and materials enough to make one for my other Bauer .25, so I guess I'll probably just have to make another for a set. Not a big production or anything, but just a fun little project for my really little pistols.
