    woodsnwater, I used a grey ultra-fine Scotch-Brite pad. I have also used 0000 steel wool and it does the same job. You have to be a little more careful on edges with the steel wool. I actually used the steel wool to dull and cut back the finish between coats of the Jim Chambers oil.

    Thanks for all the support guys. I learned so much from your contributions on this website and a special thanks to billraby for endless hours and detail he put into his videos.

    ...12 years later!

    I used 2 applications of tannic acid and iron nitrate for the stain. Came out black as coal and was very difficult to see the blushing action when heated, so I made sure I covered it thoroughly with the heat gun. Rubbed it back with Tried and True oil and let it dry for a week. Then 3 coats of...

    ...12 years later!

I purchased a Pecatonica lefthand Hawken kit 12 years ago and realized quickly I did not possess the skill to put it together.

    WANTED Bullet mold for Pedersoli Gibbs

    I was just looking for .451 molds at Buffalo Arms and Dixie's. They both had a couple different styles in stock (although not cheap). A .452 should size to .451 super easy (unless maybe your not lubing or using hard lead?) For a Gibbs, I would guess 40:1 lead/tin would be soft enough. You should...
