What kind of a neighborhood do you live in to be able to go thru a few clips?One of the better Pictures from when I was giving this thing a go with a few clips out back.

A very bizarre one.What kind of a neighborhood do you live in to be able to go thru a few clips?
I really enjoy the wood part of it. I’ve gotten pretty good at steaming out dents, picking the right wood dye, bringing old checkering back to life and really making the stocks shine.
I always have a friend cerakote them for me instead of bluing.
This was a 22 shirt that belonged to my grandfather. They called them soap guns because soap salesmen use to give them out if you ordered a certain amount. Only worth anything to me.

Where do you usually get your parts, stocks etc for the guns you restore. I have refurbished a few guns, but I would like to get my hands on a few, and try to put them back in original condition the way you do.I just laid away an M1917 US Enfield made by Winchester. It was sporterized, but not butchered. I figure it will cost me $500.00 (with the price of the rifle) to put her back to as issued condition. A price well worth it considering the value when complete will be $1300-1500.00. I don't do it to make a profit, I enjoy the work. The value increase is how I justify the expense to the wife.
