New Acquisitions for January 2010

I picked this up back in October or November

This was my Grandfathers trap gun. I got it from him over the weekend. Due to his health he can longer shoot.[sad]

I guess I will be learning a little about trap this spring.[smile]
 
Well I've had a busy month for acquisitions: first was the Glock 29 posted early in the thread, then I picked up this DeSantis Pro Stealth holster to carry while I wait for my FIST holster to arrive. I had E 74 hardware failure on my Xbox 360, so I tried the x-clamp replacement fix, but that didn't resolve the issue, so I picked up a new 360 Elite console. Lastly, tonight I bought 100 rounds of 10mm from Bass Pro Shops from a girl who looked a hell of a lot like Taylor Swift.

Here is the before. I was pretty upset when I opened the box, but thanks to some of the great people on NES and on the CMP forums I was able to learn how to fix it up and make it look good. I stripped all the finish off, lightly sanded the rough spots, coated it with mineral oil a few times to bring the wood back then sealed it with a couple coats of tung oil.

My mistake. That's what I get for trying to read a forum on an iphone..

btw - the after photo looks a lot better than the before[grin]

usnma - if you can, you should pattern that bt99, or ask your grandfather, most trap guns shoot high. It is a great trap gun, it will last you many rounds, enjoy it!
