A farmer's gun .................

[fishing4sanity]

Here's a gun only a farmer can really appreciate, but even some farmers may wonder why. A short time ago A-con had a thread of a stock-paint job he had done, well that got me wanting to try one as well. Since I bleed green I figured my first paint job would have to be something John Deere. My sons are more talented than me and my daughter-in-law is very crafty, so it became a family project.

We took one perfectly good Ruger 10/22, broke it down, put a fat barrel and a fancy stock on it. Then I did a mock-up of what I wanted it to look like. My son did most of the painting (I made a few token efforts) and my daughter-in-law made stencils and masks based on my ideas.

It's not perfect, but when we pulled off the tape and put it back together I was really happy with our family project. Now, for the next one ……………..

Nice job! Neat project that is more memorable with the group participation.

Nice job, kudos to all involved. I like the tractor too.

SWEET! I could sell the heck out of them in certain parts of this state. Other parts of the state they'd have to be red...

Cool project. I like!

 

[RUT JUNKEY]

Very nice. Not many like that floating around for sure. Like 1pt said, if you could put together a truckload of those and some IH red ones, we could all get rich in a hurry here in Indiana!!

How cool is that. Good job.

That is an excellent job! Heck, I've never driven a John Deere anything and I'd love owning that rifle.

You need to send that to the JD marketing department. Very cool.
