    Probably a bit late but if you have a stock with a really tough varnish, don't try sanding it immediately (or use paint stripper). Those thin flexible $2 shop paint scraper type dealies with the...

    Greetings Again, I sure would not be in any hurry to meddle with any load that shoots that well and especially not based on the dubious art of reading primer appearance. I suggest that once the...
