Hey Don

[Kurt]

Well I got it all sanded down and three coats of tung oil rubbed by hand till it was just about dry and tacky to seal the pours. It needs a little more. I don't like the forearm with the square cut. That is a mistake they made at CPA it is not what I ordered. for now it will do till I get back from Lodi and I will redo it and get a little more oil rubbed in.
This is a .45-90 with a heavy XX Douglas premium 31" barrel 1-1/16" across the flats with a 16 ROT.
I will shoot it tomorrow to get the sights centered for a no wind and maybe blow some cases out to fit the chamber. The chamber was cut with my reamer I had made for this project. It is very tight so it just excepts a .451" patched bullet in a unsized case and it weigh 12#1.2 Oz on the postal scale.
I wont have a chance to get a load worked up before Lodi so I will load just enough of 2F OE to get about .200" compression and hope for the best using the Danielson PP prolate bullet.
