Damnit dave there is no reason for you to feel bad at ALL for the accident wasnt your fault at all!!! it was simply a freak accident!!! Hell coulda had the same type of injury from working on a garage door(actualy seen my uncle get knocked clean across a garage by a garage door spring!!) or cutting a peice of wood and it getting caught and kicking back and hitting me in the face.. and Lord knows I have cut plenty of wood in the 7+ years I spent as a plumber with my dad...(lord knows that if the boy is around they get the grunt work :) ) or be walking down the road and some poor person have a heart attack and get hit by a car..... (happend to a good friend growing up.... he had to learn to walk all over again...)!!!! so you stop feeling guilty right now!!!





Speaking of mausers thats basicaly what I am doing to mymauser if I ever get around to finishing it... bobed barrel piller/glass bedded action in a new stock and a scout scope setup

HEHEHE I am working on it... went out earlier and stripped the gun back down, jbwelded the holes the other day so I reshaped and sanded it to blend up.... (the threads in the threaded hole where pretty bad so even though a little brass plate would have been cool ahh I can allways epoxie one on...)



Going out now to so some final sanding and then since the GF is away I am going to "borrow" her oven and use some of that brownells gun-kote teflon/moly finish I have left and the action tube is getting refinished tonight :)... may end up refinishing the whole gun in it if I have enough.... cocking lever barrel etc etc..... dunno.... but probably atleast the cocking lever and the action tube itself..... Anyways enough typing time to get to it... may be able to post pics before the night is over with who knows....





EDIT: P.S. the crown isnt nearly as rough as the last two pics makes it look.... the first side pic is a better showing of it.... the flash just really made stoning lines really stand out...... its actially pretty damned polished :)

ahh darn!! just typed in a big ol post and then dropped my connection and lost the whole thing!!! I hate that!!! oh well lets try this again!



Been kinda busy the last few days with doc appointments and such so wasn't able to get alot done but was finally able to get her refinished and learned a few things in the process.... Mostly learned that Brownell's Teflon/Moly Gun-Kote has a shelf life of sometime shorter then 8 years :) I had an old can from a while back and thought this would be a good time to try using it up.... Well it came out awful... low can pressure and old product led to a very bad finish that was bumpy and had bubbles / crusty spots after it was cured in the oven... I shook the crap outta it for about 20 minutes but couldn't get the spray to smooth out at all :( so after all that work I had to take it back out and wet sand it back to smooth and start over again... After re sanding I was left with about 99 percent of the finish still there but it just looked like crap so I roughed it up a bit and got out the trusty wrinkle paint.



Man I forgot how nice a finish a good wrinkle paint can give... and to be honest I am glad the Gun-Kote didn't work out all that well because I like the looks of this better... I used a Heat gun when I apply wrinkle paintsI feel it gives a tighter nicer looking finish.So now time for pictures!!













The flash made a couple of the pics look shiny but really its a nice matted finish... Also in the last pic you can see inside the action where the Gun-Kote had bubbled a bit and generally left a not so pretty finish... I will prolly just sand it smooth or I may let it wear in as it will smooth out after the action is cycled a few times.... I have used it on a few bolt actions and it gives the action a great buttery smooth glassy feel..





Also was debating on either shrouding the whole barrel with 3/4 tube or just building a break.... think I have decided on just a break for now until I figure out how to make a clamp for the underlever on a full shroud..(was thinking rare earth magnets....)

That is a fine looking shroud! But I would not leave it copper. You are on your way to a tactical nighthunter masterpiece with the wrinkle paint. I would blue, or wrinkle paint, to match.

Ultimately you might set her up with one of the BSA varmint rigs (forgot what they call 'em) that mounts the tactical flashlight and laser on top or side of the scope. They weren't expensive, look bada$$, and are highly functional.

How is the eye?

Ok dave wrinkle it is then LOL (see that was easy ) the copper looks REALLY nice in person BUT it doesnt really match the rest of the finishes on the gun LOL... so out with the bling in with the ninja :)





Eye is doing well BTW still hurts me in the sun andseems to strain easyand my vision is still a touch blurrier but everythingseems to be fine... doc gave me a clean bill and wants to see me again around the 10th of may just for a checkup....





Tell you what... this last month has been a real pain in my butt!!! first have ALLmy teeth pulled for dentures then pop myself in the eye.. then sat I had to go back to the oral surgeon and they had to cut me and grind down some bone.... I have been poked prodded and messed with more this past month then I have in the last 20 years.....
