Ok, so could you go slowly for us neanderthals and say specifically what materials and method you used for fire lapping?

Well, not to rub it in, but I paid $475 for my new blued 20" gun. It was in the box, but did have a small scratch on one spot on the barrel. I agree that I would have bought a 45/70 if the Rossi was...

Hout makes drawers to store taps, and they come with labels to mark the drawers. I would suggest wrapping the taps in oiled paper of some sort to keep them from dulling each other and also to keep...
