1st blood after phase 1 of remakeover
« on: May 17, 2007, 12:39:45 PM »
I had put a new shroud and brake on my old B-3 and decided to take it apart to inspect and relube. All looked real nice inside, but I did some polishing here and there anyway, also added a couple of lubed washers. I wanted to try it out and since the custom stock is getting a new look, I put the old stock on it to try it out. Well the LOP was alittle short since I have the rubber butt pad off, it's going elsewhere.hehe It did however shoot rear sweet, it took a few shots to get it on paper and dialed in, to where it was making nice 1/2" groups at 25yrds. All of the sudden a black bird landed about 12-15yrds past my target. It can't be, just to good of a day, I put the crose hairs on his noggen and raised up a tad bit, then the wind started, so I adjusted to the left and let the tomahwk fly. Got him right under the chin and out the back of his neck. I do not have a chrony so I do not have any #'s on her, but I paced it out to 44yrds and she didn't move after I hit her, just a twitch and she was done. I know that this B-3 is going to be real sweet when she gets her new set of custom tailored clothes.

It still has the leather in it, I figure it is shooting just fine like it is, for now,hehe. It will get a B-4 kit soon though, want to see what she will do then. She's still all original, with a hole lota love.

That's a great shot Mike, good shootin.  Ya just gotta love those B-3's :)

I've been real busy lately since I went back to work, but on my next days off I'm gonna get back to work on the camo job on my B-3 #3.  

Again, great shootin.

Thanks Ed, it will be awhile before I am through with her new stock. I'm adding some more wood and reshapeing it alittle, it almost fits perfect now.

What an outstanding shot Mike,



I don't know if it was the lubed washers or that shroud and break, but that was a great shot !



You have your B-3 baby feeling good, looking good and she made that shot for you, you always have to take care of them babies .
