    Olive wood stock?

    I would post a picture but that involves putting them somewhere else first which requires me to devote time to learning how to do that. Time I figure could be better spent playing with my more important toys like guns and hunting gear and,, and ,, you know,,, important stuff. Besides I tried...

    Olive wood stock?

    Definitely not walnut. I've worked with plenty of that. Maybe Beech though. However I was able to sand and wash repeatedly with denatured alcohol until it took a fair coating of dark walnut stain. Will add another coat tomorrow or the next day. Wish I had taken a picture before staining but...

    Olive wood stock?

    I have a Hawken style replica that I was made in Italy. Says Ranson Italia on the barrel that came on it. I replaced it with a Green Mountian barrel and wanted to stain the stock darker as it is not very pretty as it is but if it is made of olive wood that may not be easy to accomplish. Does...

    New build

    Spent the summer building a .32 cal percussion rifle with a 42 inch Rice barrel. She shoots pretty well and I'm looking forward to squirrel season cause that's why I built it. I've had some of the finest rim fire rifles money could buy but hunting with them lost it luster. Also made a small...

    A Squirrel rifle

    I'm just finishing up a conversion froma .45 to a .32. Wanted a small cal. but they are hard to come by down here. Found an older cva with a two piece stock and later acquired a Crocket barrel. Managed to shoot it this past Saturday and it will hold a minute of squirrel head at 50 yds. If I...

    Well all is not lost. I got my hands on a .32 barrel and with a little work I can make it fit into the stock on the Spanish gun so I now have something to keep me busy for a few days.

    That would take to long, I like that instant gratification. Anyway I'm just not going to keep the rifle. It not what I want, which is a .32 cal to squirrel hunt with. However, they seem to be as rare as hens teeth and if you do find one it brings three time what a .50 cal just like it would...

    Well I have tried to download pictures. I put them on photobucket but I'm having trouble loading them from there. Anyway I got the rifle in question for $100. But got home with it and discovered as I suspected it is not a .36 cal but a .45.

    Well, I sure stirred up the pot on this one but I still don't know what it's worth. Is $200. to much recon?
