People who think they’re married to their objects depress me. Lol

These forums are by inherent design to foster opinion! Just FYI..

I asked in an open forum what gun I should get for my specific needs. About 2 pages of nutless giving no practical advice…then cantinaboy256 just lays out the truths. He was right about the airgun advice. I can’t keep up with his Tesla like paragraphs of explanations on machinining these guns...

I know he's not butthurt. I know some passionate tempers have flared, but as much as an A-hole Cantana256 is, and since we're talking butt stuff, this guy is my kinda A-hole. :love:

Thats gorgrous! There is a dark tung made by Real Milk Paint Co. that will turn a slight brwown hue. Or you can use a coffee ground rub, like the real fine ground stuff thats about like powder. The vinegar thing sounds interesting.

Well, which one? Lol I did the beech and a walnut for this SAM Mrod!

Like this?

My New in wrapper & cosmo Enfield No4MK2 Irish contract blonde beech!

A pro for using all dry stripping technique. The citristrip would have taken everything off. I like the contrast it leaves too!

Thanks! It was so tight grained it looked and felt like 800g finish. I had to 180g in an attempt to open it up so the tung could get some hold. I doubt it would take stain or evenly. It didn't take the finish Benjamin used as it was blotcy and swirly and came off easy. I like the lower sheen...

The Sun. lol 70-75F. afternoon when UV is higher. 45-1hr per side exposed to sunlight. Above 80F. 30 min per side. I discovered this with tung oil 8yrs ago when I sat some axe handles out on the back deck to dry. I noticed the side facing the sun hardened, so I rotated them and those axes have...

Benjamin sent me a stock with scratches. I used a razor blade to scratch off the thin & terrible looking finish and then followed up with sandpaper 180g. (It was this dry method vs Citristrip. Glad I did this dry) This process revealed a beautiful beech wood stock with the tightest grain I’ve...

You are not alone!

I've gone to the method you described about moving the crosshairs to the shot. Don't even have to know the movement per click. This is a quick way to get a rough zero, then fine tune with a couple clicks. This works great with a new mounted scope to the rig and a big piece of cardboard to catch...

I only see banter and drivel coming from you. You ask this dude questions, he provides numerous examples, finds a video, and you mince a way to an argument on about every point. At this point I bet you'd argue the color of the sky if he said it was blue. Seems the only motivation you have is to...
