    Mossyrock. Looking good, looking good. Having those original measurements provided by 'rlm8541' does make a difference, especially through the forearm.

    Try mixing pumice, crushed to a fine powder, mixed with your Tung or BLO. You can fill pores and build an excellent hand/palm applied finish in this manner.

    Gunny pmclaine, I'm not a 'gate keeper' and your motivations and intent, are certainly not in question. I use the 'Delete' feature (as in totally-totally gone,) fairly often myself. So, now that we've got you here, tell us about your M40 or what else you've got going on...:cool:

    M40 Build Guide

    Redfields and colors... I don't think there is any confusion that the original 'green' anodizing changed color when exposed to direct sunlight and that the different alloy contents produced different colors/shades. The fact remains, that even original scopes that did not see much, if any...

    GunBlack for parkerizing services... in the Northeast Shuff's is well known and his reputation is well deserved, but I was looking for a vendor, with a comparable reputation and one that could handle a complete M700 barreled action (Shuff's can't,) who was on the east coast and closer to my...

    My apologies, Mossyrock, I have you confused with someone else, on the email thing... but, please read my post 1,199. I know there is a difference, but I'd like to see what the difference actually is.

    Macca's CRS M40 Type-1 and Type-2 follow-up... Photos only. Macca can 'quote' this post and elaborate on his communications with CRS, in another post. The 'Type; ID's might need to be amended- the pistol grip with the 'tighter'/closer curve would be the correct Type-1 and the more open grip...
