Hold that foreend!

[Kurt]

Rick the barrel is 1-1/8"X36". It is heavy at 12.2 oz. But when I build that rifle about 30 years ago I had a lot more upper body strength to hold it steady. I never quite finished it, the barrel still needs browning. I was hoping that it would get a good patina like this rifle below. It has been out in some nasty weather over the years but the barrel just wont change to a patina. I guess someday I will work it over with some Naval jell. I been thinking about getting some new draw files and swamp it to lighten it up some.
