Cool Rifle

[longbow51]

I know everything is supposed to be political, but can we pause and talk about guns and hunting?

Sent a 9422 I bought in 1979 to Paul to rebuild, tune trigger and action, and get rid of the horrible plastic/varnish finish.

Action smooth as silk, trigger crisp, wood finish like glass, checkering excellent. Another @p_ham masterpiece.

I am not worthy, for those who get the reference.

Is that an XTR?

Honestly, can't remember, although that sounds right. Just before US Repeating Arms went bankrupt.

Wasn't a bad rifle except for the trigger and the awful varnish finish, and Paul fixed both. Trigger breaks like the classic glass rod. Not, of course, as light as a bolt, but something about a lever...

And I don't know how he gets the smooth-as-glass oil finish, but he does.

Gunsmith magic.

Dang, that sure is a purdy little thing.

Nice to have a forum homie like Paul to turn to.

He made a deal with the devil.

Or, maybe, in tune with the universe.

Nah, I was there, saw the handshake and everything.

You have better taste in knives than in rifles.

It bugs me that my Ruglin 1895 Trapper has a threaded barrel.

Don’t talk poorly about the Space Cowboy

One of these days, after I get a few more things checked off my “must have/do” list, I might send Paul a 22 lever action to work over.
