I refinished an abused 336, and browned the barrel, receiver, and mag tube using Laurel Mtn. Forge solution, probably identical to what you used. It turned out beautifully, and has proven a tough, hard-wearing finish. You can get a denser, finer-grained finish if you card and rinse between applicati...

To do anything but a commercial processing on a hide requires a heckuva lot of time and work. The actual preservation of the hide takes only a short time, but once the skin has dried it's as hard as a board and requires many hours of working, by hand if you don't have the commercial equipment.

I can agree with you 100% on the horizontal shoulder holsters -- but then, I don't care for concealed-carry shoulder holsters in general. As for strapless holsters, it really depends on the design and quality. I have made a number of pancake-style holsters for use with revolvers and autos, and with ...

You got a super deal, and should certainly be able to realize a tidy profit if you sell. I use my Rossi Trapper .45 for home defense, as a truck gun, and as a very easy-to-tote brush gun in the deer woods. If you don't reload, you're going to find it a bit pricey to shoot it as a plinker. But, if yo...
