Slow down and take your time. If you get frustrated sit it down for a day or two. All this talk about banging on it makes me cringe. Bryan
Yes i dont like taking a hammer to anything old. Even if it is only 6oz. Dont worry guys you can sleep at night knowing i didn't put a torch to it. I just let it sit in the sun for a couple hours. I still couldn't get that valve nut loose. I let it sit upright for a couple days with oil down in there. I was left with only one solution to my problem...Send it away to the Master, Tim. Now i got some free time on my hand 8-12 weeks. So i need a new project, any thoughts? I was looking to get a 2240 and go to town on it. Barry thanks again for lending me The Tool. I'll have it in the mail soon.
Yea i gave Tim a call before sending it. This is the first gun ive sent off to him. So i wanted to see what he wanted me to do before sending it. I sent everything but the stock, safety, and stock bolt. He said it would take somewhere from 8-12 weeks. He had 60, not a typo 60, guns ahead of mine. So now we play the waiting game.Yea i like the patina look to it. Once u said that i was thinking about it for several days. By the time he gets to it i may have a change oh heart. But i may do it myself either way. Im gonna put some work in on this stock though.Barry sorry it took a minute i can be a slacker. I sent out The Tool today USPS expected delivery Friday. Thanks again bud.
Now earlier i thought that light area on shoulder part where you would rest cheek and area where a righty would rest his thumb. After sanding it down it just looks to be multi colored piece oh stock. Does that sound right or maybe tested something in that area?
