Well, I believe the grandkids should be as excited about guns as I am. All my grandkids start shooting at around 4 yrs old , with a Red Ryder. SOON they graduate to a .22 rifle. In my case they are plinkin with a Crickett. Then .38, then .357, then what ever they can handle. Just another practice session last week. Trying to excite them , we call it Copperhead. I did this to the Crickett. btw, it was originally black synthetic. Jim
Great job, looks awesome. I was going to start by daughter off with a cricket, but decided to do a 10/22 with an axiom stock for light weight.
I just bought my nephew a camo one for his birthday, now he doesn't have to suffer with me teasing him about having to shoot his sister's pink 10/22. Going to take him out tomorrow and let him break it in a bit.
No sir, Im too cheap for that. I sanded it ,removing all flashins, then sprayed it with a plastic primer, let dry and cure. Then pulled womens(some guys I guess) fish net, panty hose over it and fitted it like I wanted pattern to look, then alternating colors, to get patterns, sprayed with Fusion paint. Let cure for at least 7 days, then reassemble. Another week then a good coat of Johnsons wax. This seems to hold up very well, Like ANY finish or wood, it will ding when hit on a car door edge. Jim
