Nice Gun!

Gotta get rid of that plastic LCI. There are some real nice stainlesss fillers out there. Looks so much better, unless you need an LCI.

got to try my HomeMade rest today.
My friend use it all day with his .223 and he really likes it!
I use it with my 45-70 to double check the sight and this thing did great. It took most of the kick perfectly.
Def. a keeper!

Some @hole to the tables! :(

Cmp

I joined the Garand Collectors Association today so that I can send the rest of my hard earned money to the CMP. Just a question about the requirements; Is my NJ Hunters Education, or NRA Pistol First Steps training sufficient for the live fire training that CMP requires? Thanks in advance.

Typical factory loads are optimized for 6" barrels, so they don't translate to max velocity in a rifle barrel.
Ruger is killing me with this one.lol I use Lil gun in my 77/22 Hornet and some .357 loads. Might be worth looking into for a 357 long gun.

Stock Builing

I'm going to build an Anschutz style stock for a 10/22 have and I need a starting point or pattern.

Something like this



Anyone have a stock they can trace and email me a .pdf of said drawing?

A bit off topic but not worth starting a new thread. Opinions on DIY a guns finish? Item in mind at the moment is a circa 1968 Ruger Mk 1. Bit of rust here and there. Nothing is pitted. Ideas welcome.

Unless the gun has near zero value, dont mess with it. If the rust isnt so bad the gun no longer functions, just leave it. Oil the hell out of it to stop it from getting worse. Might knock it down a bit with bronze wool. (softer than steel wool).

That being said, I redid a Mossberg .22 that had sat 20+ yrs in the corner of a horse barn. Pitted severely. FILED the pits off!, then sanded and polished it. Re-blued with a Brownells cold blueing kit. Do this OUTSIDE!!!! Stinks like you cant believe! Looks nice, very age appropriate patina. But no where as rich a blue as a factory job. Held up well for the past 10 yrs. I keep it oily and it now lives in the corner of my garage!
