A friend sent a new Taurus PT 78 in .380 over. It would lock open with every shot. I found it was put together with the spring out of place.
Fixed, works fine.
Then a Rossi lever gun in .410. I swore it was a Marlin! The recoil pad stuck out all over big time so I ground it for a perfect fit. He wants a gloss finish and some checkering but I did not want to remove the finish from the white wood. I put a coat of Tru Oil on it soaked it up like a sponge. This thing would not take water in the rain.
I have to find a Marlin checkering pattern to put on it. Then after I have to match the stock color close in the checkering.
I need to make a crutch for the checkering cradle too.
I am getting too old for this junk! :holysheep
