Building 4 Bore Rifle #2

[Craig Wilcox]

Coming along nicely, Bill.  Every time I see that beautiful walnut stock, I get more enthralled by it.

Will you be adding any color/tint?  I can envision a hint of red.

Really want to thank you for these wonderful videos.  Very helpful no matter what style of firearm.

When I was much younger, I watched Saturday morning cartoons.  Mickey Mouse, Wile Coyote, Elmer Fudd.

Now, as an old man, I watch Bill's excellent gun building videos.  Thank you, Bill Raby!

Do they even have saturday morning cartoons anymore? If I owned a TV it would be fun to spend a morning watching those again.

[Craig Wilcox]

Just Googled (is that really a word?) "Bugs Bunny Cartoons", came up with a bunch of Looney Tunes on YouTube.

Owe you a couple heavy boxes - if my danged spine will ever cooperate, will get them to you.  Also have a few longrifles I'm trying to work on.  Dust getting heavy on my workbenches.

Thats a very ungreatfull area for bedding. Guess you will get some trouble to get the barrel out,without breaking off some of this thin layers of acryl. Which release agent do you use?

[Bill Raby]

The barrel came out with no problem at all. I used the release agent that came with the acraglass.

Good one, Bill.  Could you use a scraper to smoothly remove wood, or solely for the final touch?  I've never tried border carvings, altho I once carved a squirrel on an unmentionable - looked great.

Where in the world do you dig up those intros?

[Bill Raby]

For what I am doing in the video I think chisel is about the only way to go. Scraper would work for smoothing it out afterwards. But I usually use rasps, files, or rifflers. I do the artwork for the intros myself. There are a whole bunch of websites where you can download music with no copyright
