I wish I'd known this before I f'd up my Lefever Nitro Express.

A carpenter's pencil with number two wide lead works very well doesn't scratch anything and eats that rush right off.

Thank god it was just the tip of the

Thank got just the tip

Yea this is great if you just have minor surface rust, but if you have deep pitting and pockets, this won’t do much.

Found a 94c frame in the bottom of my inherited gun cabinet. Just the frame, no barrel, no stock.

What is penetrating fluid brand?

Great video. I wish I would have watched this and invested in all this stuff years ago instead of piecing it together frantically while guns are apart and need to be worked on 😅 Just subscribed, will have to check out your channel.

I so want to add this to the stock on my lever action. But don’t want to buy a tap to cut threads. It would be a one time use. Ugh.

Which is your penetrating fluid of choice?

Excellent informative video brother 👍

Awesome content! I already bought the QD cups for a B&C stock I'm getting ready to bed my action in.

great idea using the Pin Vise

been using these hones for years. Get them from Brownells or MidwayUSA.

EXCELLENT. THANX

I’ve got one of these Stevens here in NZ, it’s in considerably worse condition unfortunately. The stock is full of cracks and the screw holding the trigger guard on was snapped off by a previous owner and to repair it they welded the trigger guard on. Current working on removing the snapped screw then I’ll move onto the cracked stock.

Love that 38-55! Great looking pair of Rifles there.

I bought an old M2 stock from J&G sales for my M1 Carbine to replace the plastic stock on it. It’s old, dried out, and super dark. It’s sat for a long time without any oil on it. I’m going to try this on it, I bought the stock for $30 so if it doesn’t clean up to well it’s no loss to me, I have no knowledge of woodworking so videos like yours has helped me build enough confidence to try it

I've used the lids from plastic buckets. Flat, thick enough, and white all the way through. I only did a couple that I was redoing the stock on, so it was easy to just screw them in-between the stock and the but plate and finish all to the same contour.

Always had good luck with heating up the metal with a heat gun/hair dryer. Seems to help the blue set up, I also card with degreased 0000 steel wool between coats. Barrel looks great, going to have to try the T4.

Thank you for taking the time to show us.

Do you a gun smithing business? I’m long to have some work done. Thank you for the awesome videos.

Green scotchbrite will scratch chrome. White scotchbrite most gentle. Maroon is still pretty abrasive.

I recently picked up a nice-looking Colt Diamondback 22LR and brought it home for disassembly, inspection and cleaning. The exterior was beautiful but I when I removed the side plate, I was stunned. Inside, the interior surfaces of the frame had formed a superficial surface rust (but thankfully no pitting) even though all the small parts looked fine. With all the nooks and crannies, an old penny, a copper Brillo pad or steel wool was out of the question. My plan of attack is to soak it overnight with Kroil and then go at it with a copper-bristled toothbrush. After that I'll spray the interior with Hornady's "One shot" which goes on wet and then dries, leaving a thin, protective film to protect the metal from any further corrosion.

Beautiful piece! 😍

For $75?! That's amazing dude!

Very clever. Years ago my crew played with an idea found in most refrigerators, yep and sometimes in different colors. I like the plates, and this license plate collector shoulda thought of it, ha. Carry on sir.

Looks like $175. Real sharp. I have an addiction to these old firearms that get passed up@

It looks great. The wood grain is beautiful.

Great idea. Thanks

Lmao turns that thing into a cannon

Good shit, keep it up. Have built quite a few stocks and getting them checkered was impossible/expensive. Decided to have a go at it myself. Steep learning curve did you say? I have done 3 stocks now. Started with a crappy one and it came out pretty bloody good for a first attempt. Second one came out near perfect so was confident enough to do one of my best stocks and really happy with the results. Takes ages especially with the blunt gunline shit. (at least it got me started) Very satisfying ( therapeutic almost ) work. Keen as to do more but will wait till I get some better gear. Cheers.

Watching a piece now that was shortened and has no bead hole. This was helpful.

I would have used the set-up after drilling, tap with the drill chuck?

I found an old muzzle loader percussion pistol with rust a plenty. It had no bluing at all. I have been thinking of bluing the barrel, maybe even the metal side plates.

My dad told me to a copper brush if you didn’t want scratches

Oof that sandpaper hurt my soul 😅 I've had to re-blue many a rifle that someone ruined that way.

Just me.. I warm the steel & let the oil soak in for a while. Real copper pennies are getting harder to find but copper crush washers aren’t

Pretty reliable guns but they do tend to need new ejector springs but besides that they are solid

Excellent tutorial, thank you.

Естественно новодел же😂

Love it

Ya, overall looks unmolested!

Nice brother. I have a 16ga and it’s beautiful. Can’t wait to see your finished product.

Looks nice. But a laminated stock still isn’t a hardwood stock. It doesn’t feel like wood and still sounds like the original stock.

Nice stevens model 94 m. 12 gauge!

Nice buy.

hell the typical old single barrel where i live is around 140

My bar tab exceeds that purchase price,

Is the laminate Boyd stocks actually wood
