NICE WORK _b WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START PISSING ON IT?

Got to get some grease to plug the barrel with and something with which to protect the action.

The action is 134 years old and has earned every scratch, bump, blemish and pit. I dont want to take that away from it.

The stock will be finished in about 2 months time so I need to start planning the final finish of the rifle.

I definitely ned it to be up in action by next March for the CAS shoot in Carterton. Ideally I will have been practicing with it for a good 2-4 months solid befoe going to a competition.

If I practice at 500 yards, Carterton will be a doddle as the furtherest they set their targets is 350 yards. The target being a 1 metre square piece of steel.

I'll keep you posted as to the progress of this project.

And are we going to get a report on what diet produces the best results?

"Dandelion: Quantity was high but seems to be inferior quality, black tea produced good colour but I had to drink gallons to get enough for the job..."

Has anyone seen these Norinco JW-25A's ?

Look alike KAR98, but it's .22

Look pretty cool, but that money you spend on one could be used to get a real Mauser lol

Anybody know anything about a Chinese M1 carbine copy in 22?

I suspect a Norinco but can't be naffed looking.

I need a spare mag (they're plastic and mine has a split.)

Crap trigger but a really straight shooter with the silencer on it.

Are you thinking of the Norinco JW14?

Marlin made the M22 M1 which is a .22 copy of the M1.

I used to use the tubes of DIY blueing paste from the gunshop. I found that the best way of using it (got the richest blue and evenest finish) was to thoroughly clean the metalwork with meths to remove the finger grease then (wearing rubber gloves to protect the metal from my greasy mits as much as protect me from the blueing paste) douse the metal with boiling water from the jug, quickly dry it and vigorously apply the paste to the hot metal. I'd repeat that process daily until I had the desired colour then finish up with a liberal application of gun oil.

Thanks, got my Blueing kit today, gonna go down the shed soon and do the trigger guard first for a bit of practice.

I used to flush the excess paste off with boiling water and rub vigorously with a soft cloth

I'm down the shed ate mo', (wireless networks are handy) using the boiling water, but the cloth sounds good, the steel wool appears just a little harsh.

So far I have done 5 coats, it's looking good, but I'll definitely be doing the recommended 20 coats.

Steel wool is rather harsh, yes. Whatever you do, never use a scotchbrite pad - unless you've done a shit job on the blue and intend on taking it back to bare metal...

I was just using the fine steel wool it came with.
The cloth is much better

my experience recently says give it heaps of coats, got an old 12 g SBS hammer gun the other day ( chas osborne. london), gave it a few coats of blueing paste and it looked great, so gave it an oil and it took the blueing right off it again.
got it sorted in the end but.

[deanohit]

I'm done now, wound up giving it around 25 coats in the end as I sort of forgot to keep a count towards the end and kept on going.

I'm stoked with how it came out, got some Rem-oil on it now, and it's looking great.
