Hello folks looks like some good work being done here. Glad to know people are doing more of this. My shooting partner has been doing some movie making and I thought you might enjoy some video of our process. Here are a couple youtube videos of doing a Marlin 1895 deluxe takedown pistol grip. Hope y...

Here's a Maynard lever I did yesterday.

Next up is an 1892 winchester that I got as an extremely pitted piece of junk. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/SANY0039-1.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/SANY0045.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/SANY0051-1.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/alb...

Alright folks I am excited I can finally show off a couple of these projects I been workin on. Wood just came back from the checkerer. First is My low wall you have seen the pics of the colors here is the rest of it. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/SANY0001-6.jpg http://i231.photobu...

Well fellows I ain't Jim D. but I can offer you my thoughts and experiences. AJB I would think the bigger the furnace chamber the better. As a minimum I would figure the largest part you think you would want to do and add a little room for the crucible. I have an Evenheat HT-1. I can get a Win 1873 ...

Well I redid the Small parts for that 39m yesterday, along with a M-70 type buttplate for a friend. I decided to cut wide sheet matal shield to surround each part, and wire the whole to the tree. My small parts still being the least consistent part of the operation, I figured it couldn't hurt. Here ...

JPK, Nice color. I sure would like to see pics when you get the rest of that one done. Silverman, Any lacquer will do. I tried the baking lacquer. It is good and hard after baking but will chip and you can't touch it up without redoing it. I tried a lot of different rattle can spray lacquer. Any are...

Couldn't resist sticking the wood on and taking a few pics. This is a nice stick of wood but it soaks up light of the camera flash at night in my shop. Hope you can see the grain of the wood ok. I still have the rust bluing to do and the stock has not been checkered yet. I think she has decided on a...

Here are the small parts for this gun. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/SANY0030-2.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/SANY0040-1.jpg Still having trouble getting consistency on the small parts. These are o.k. I really like the forend cap. I will probably try to redo...

O.K. I have been working on a Marlin 39m for my girlfriend and this weekend was cch time. At the same time I wanted to experiment with a variation to arrive at a harder core for parts made of 4140. I want to be able to do ruger single shots, and ruger single action, and any other modern 4140 so I to...

Here are a couple pics of the finished rifle. This belongs to my shooting partner Greg Pennell and he did all the work. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/PICT0077.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/PICT0083.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/PICT008...

Thanks Jim, I consider that very high praise indeed. Here is the rest of that gun. We did the rest of the parts last weekend, but I am just getting around to posting pics now. Here is a rather large pack of small parts. Inside are the parts from the Marlin 39 along with a K-frame S&W hammer and ...

Well we been at it again. This time a Marlin 39M receiver. 2:1 wood bone ratio, distilled water aerated 46 degrees. Here are the parts packed for the furnace. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/SANY0003-2.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee85/gunsbrad/SANY0001-1-1.jpg Here it is ...

Glenn, That's high praise from a feriner. I do like this furnace. I would recommend anyone that is interested in a heat treat furnace to contact Evenheat. They have a large assortment of furnace. They are relatively cheap, parts are cheap, and the programmable brain box has lots of features. If I we...

JPK,

Looks like you are getting some nice colors. I wonder if you would elaborate a little on your process. Also what are those parts? They almost look like pipe flanges. What kind of steel are they?

Thanks,
Brad Hurt
