Ebonizing Walnut
Looking good @nhenry!! And bravo to you for experimenting! If I may derail for a minute to help anyone else looking to do some self gunsmithing. @BrentD suggestion to wrap tape around where nhenry was going to make his cut. This is an oldtimers trick to help keep the wood fibers from flaying... -

custom rifle suggestions
If it's a Defiance An-Ti action, then is it really a Model 7?? At that point it's really a full on custom rifle. -

Seized Cylinder on Revolver
My friend (he's done black powder all his life) uses hot (boiling) water and vinegar to break through the nasty from an uncleaned revolver. He's gotten several to shooting condition using this.- std7mag

50 or 45 caliber inline?
Well, i ended up getting a Traditions (can't recall the model) in 45. Put an EGW base on it with a 3-9X40 Crimson Trace Hardline scope. Interestingly enough, Traditions says NOT to use patched round ball or Minnie ball in it. Sabot only. I have an order in with Cutting Edge Bullets for...- std7mag

Ebonizing Walnut
My ex-wife stripped the finish off my old Savage 110 wood stock. Once she got the brown paint excuse of a stain off of it, we were amazed at the grain in the wood. She used some white oak stain and polyurethane. I have another wood stock for a 110 that I want to try Shou-sugi-ban on. It's... -

Restoring Accuracy, Remington 700
You could always do the same as a radiator cap replacement. Where you take off the radiator cap and pull a different vehicle in. Put radiator cap on. In this case, remove the Remington emblem and put it on a Savage. Lol -

Pondering factory loads vs starting loads
Ditto 7X57 Mauser. I've been loading to the reloading manual for my daughter's rifle. She's recoil shy.- std7mag
