Just be really careful if you try the chromium trioxide. That stuff will burn you bad when you mix it into a liquid form from the crystals. And use it in a WELL ventilated area. -

Small/mid-size trucks, best all around
The wife and I were discussing how we’ve become a ford family. I’ve had a 2003 F150 with a 5.4, ram 2500 Cummins, 2020 F150 3.5 Ecoboost and now my 2023 F150 5.0 coyote. I stretched it getting the 2023, but it’s also a long term purchase lasting well past the loan life. Had I not needed it...- Farmerj

A hobbyist’s endeavors…..
I used to get my chromium trioxide here… https://www.dixiegunworks.com/index/page/category/category_id/357/name/Wood+Finishing?view_all But it looks like they no longer carry it. It’s a traditional wood finish that give a rich dark color. It takes a lot of care working with it. Either a... -

BLO is good. I’ve got some wood arrows I finished in Chromium Trioxide I want to use on a stock some day. Like I said… I have many directions I go and it all wraps back onto itself in many forms. Down to the English longbow I made. This gave me a lot of confidence I can carve a stock. -

A hobbyist’s endeavors…..
Especially when those efforts pay off in bringing home results like food or won matches. Bolts aren’t my only efforts either. One is just for plinking, the other is an M16A4gery build with a white oak armament service rifle upper. Took almost a year to find a decently priced A1 stock and... -

A hobbyist’s endeavors…..
Some 15 years or so ago, I snagged a stevens 200 chambered in .30-06. I’ve always been one to tinker with my rifles and try to get as much accuracy out of them as I don’t/ didn’t have a budget all the time for a custom built or gun shop worked over smoke pile. The first rifles I worked over... -
Student Loan Rifle
Half his budget would be on glass. I can’t think about what I want for less than $2000. And to be serious, it’s pushing $2600. -
Nosler brass.
I got the “cheaper unprepped” brass it would seem. I got the bag of 100 instead of the box of 50.- Farmerj

Had I no need for the tow capacity of my XL HDPP, that’s likely what I’d have gotten. Nice package.- Farmerj

1987 Ruger M77 .30-06
165/ 168 and the 173/175 groups are where I’ve found some incredible hand and factory loads for both .308 and .30-06. The difference in weights in those groups seems to be if they are poly tip or Hollowpoint/ soft point. -
1987 Ruger M77 .30-06
My cousins .308 mannlicher rear tang is in the basement. He’s wanting me to clean it up like my stevens 200 did. Which I’ve still got the stock parts in. They just aren’t stock anymore. ;) I’m on a quest to find a spalted maple or maybe hickory to make a custom stock for it. A jeweled bolt... -
Student Loan Rifle
My requirement was I wanted to put the gun together myself. I’ve been playing with stuff gunsmithing once the mid-90’s. Glass bedding, trigger polishing etc. stock refinish is I don’t have the lathes and mills, but there’s plenty else you could do with your kids to create those heirloom... -

You can get Arkansas stone and some Flitz polishing compound with a dremel and clean that up. https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Arkansas-Slips-and-Files-C105.aspx -
