Some of Dad's guns were stolen before he passed. I was mad about that, but that did remind me I should appreciate the ones that were left. |

THe refinishing job isn't horrible, but it just doesn't look right on that gun. A SMLE needs to be a flat, dirty, dark wood color that show it's age and use. |

I have a Kimber Pro Carry SLE that I never liked the looks of. I decided to polish the sides of the slide to a brushed look. First side went great, about 20 passes across a strip of 150 grit emery cloth glued to a pane of glass did the trick. Flipped the slide over, made twenty passes on the ejection port side, uh oh....waves and depressions cast into slide... deep ones. By the time I finally polished them out, the cocking grooves were nearly gone, the SLE stamped into the slide was gone, and possibly so much metal was removed that the gun is no longer safe to shoot. It now sits in the gun safe as a reminder to stop gunsmithing! |

I bought an L C Smith double for $50 at a gunshow, the seller had sanded it to bare metal, and sprayed it with Rustoleum BBQ black, because it had a little rust. He also sanded the stock, checkering and all, and sprayed with aerosol clear coat. It shoots great, and you should have seen the look on his face when I told him I would have paid 5 times as much if he had just left it alone

I'm new here so I don't really know all that much, but who is the Captain? and why does he destroy amazing guns???? Google Webcache of "Historical Genocide at Anniston" Excerpt: The demil process kicked into high gear after the August 1993 start-up. In a March 1994 interview, spokesman Larry Wilson said that "Captain Crunch" had ground up 307,000 firearms at a cost of a little more than $1,000,000. Wilson gave a break-down of the guns destroyed as of March 1994 as follows: .45 caliber automatic pistols (110,000), M-14 rifles (50,000), M1 carbines (45,000), M1903A3 drill rifles (40,000), M1 Garands (30,000), M3 .45 "grease guns" (20,000), M1903 Springfields (6,000), and M12 .22 caliber target rifles (6,000). Wilson calculated it had cost $3.52 to destroy each weapon and the Material Command was destroying 3,000 guns per day. |
