Finished the wood for Avator's 101.

Great job! That is the best looking 101 stock I've ever seen. (Not that I've seen a whole lot

)

THANKS! It took a little bit of extra time to get the most out of the grain. But, it was worth it.

Oh man !!! you ruined the surprise.... lol just kidding. I wasn't sure what laid underneath whatever someone had put on that thing. I'm pretty sure it wasn't born that way. I wasn't even sure the stock was going to match the forearm. You're doin a great job... Thanks man.

longhunter · « **Reply #4 on:** February 19, 2016, 07:33:33 AM »

yeah, the stock and forearm are pretty close. that thing was repainted once, as well. I found a couple of runs, while I was giving it the initial going over. I also got rid of a couple casting marks, on the receiver, that were bugging me. all in all, I think you'll be pleased.

I'm sure I will... only one problem... As some know, Betty Lou and I shoot together. We like to shoot guns that are closely matched. When she sees that 101 sitting nest to her '48 Rochester.... umm.. well, you know.

Maybe you should have your gun professionally restored.

rangerfredbob · « **Reply #8 on:** February 20, 2016, 03:30:22 AM »

That's the one you got from me Bill? Looks good!

I thought Betty Lou didn't like shooting that since it was hard to load? If that's the case, maybe a 102 is in order... I happened to find one on craigslist, maybe he'd be willing to ship... PM to follow...

avator · « **Reply #9 on:** February 20, 2016, 04:00:00 AM »

We found Betty Lou a Rochester. It shoot good but need help in the cosmetic department. Yep, that's the 101 from you.

Not going to use " Secret Sauce . " I just sprinkle hot sauce on the defective parts.

Found a picture of the 101 before it went for the facelift.

Nice wood...errr...you know what I mean. "It's got a lot to say," my neighbor the cabinet maker would say. I like the look of the 101, how does she shoot?

avator · « **Reply #15 on:** February 21, 2016, 08:48:39 PM »

I've heard people compare them to the power of a 140. I've owned this one and several 140s and I don't think they do. I mean, I would shoot a rabbit within 25yds with it but, it just don't have the crack that a 140 does. As far as I know it's shooting as well as it ever has. No leaks and a new pump piston seal. Longhunter has one of his own that is freshly sealed and will compare them when mine is back together. We'll know more then.

longhunter · « **Reply #16 on:** February 21, 2016, 09:55:05 PM »

I know mine is doing 635 with 10 pumps. It's almost as strong as my dans. They'll do 660 on 8. 12 pumps on the 101 gets me 660-664.

Got a PM from Scott today... "Old School" is coming home. Hey Scott !! How ya feel about doing a '48 Rochester? ... lol

your 101 definitely shoots as hard as a 140. I chrono'd it at around 635 on 10 pups. that's with 14.3 gr cph's.
as far as the Rochester, if Betty Lou will part with it for that long, sure.

avator · « **Reply #19 on:** February 28, 2016, 08:26:38 AM »

LOL... I have a feeling that's going to depend on how long I want to let her shoot the 101 until the Rochester is done.
