Winter projects

[dlbleak]

Picked up this 11-48 in 20g. Wood is nice with no big gouges or cracks. Someone taped some things off and painted it in gloss black. Who knows what I’ll find under that paint. I’m going to strip all the wood and metal down and refinish it. All in all, the gun is tight. Looks to be carried more than shot. It’s going to be a fun one. Anybody else have a gun lined up to work during the winter?

I was given a 577/450 Martini–Henry that has lots of issues that I plan to clean up and make in to a wall hanger this winter. Would probably be interesting to shoot, but not sure I ever will.

Just finished rust bluing wife’s nephew’s 1911. May start another project in January, but I am done for now.

My winter project is hunting, working on guns is a fair weather sport to me

Remington 600 Mohawk 243. It’s been in pieces for more than a year: small kids and a small business put it on the back burner. but today I finally got the stock refinished and put back on it and got a steel trigger guard ordered. Metal is next.

My only before pic. It was in pretty decent shape when I got it, but the finish was later destroyed in storage by some chemical inside the rifle case.

Don't have much on it, or even know much at this point. Kyber Pass Henry Martini. It has been sitting in a corner for about 9 months. I will clean it up and make it a wall hanger most likely.
