Lucky Mike posted some pics of his winter project taxidermied fish.
Post a pic or two of your project(s).
Here are a few of mine.
This one is a gem....I picked up this basketcase Beretta for 2 bills. Broken stock, barrels badly rusted.....who does that to a Beretta?. I cleaned up the metal as best I could. Had the barrels bead blasted for $20. I epoxied and pinned the 3 pieces of broken stock together. Had the barrels cerakoted graphite black, and sent them off to Mike Orlen to have choke tubes installed. The result is one fine shooting double. I love the double trigger O/U. It makes me want a good GSP again and head to pheasant country. My son in the process of adopting the shotgun. I don't have before pics, but here is the after.
This is my big project, long overdue. It was started New Years Eve, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
My wife scored this 2nd hand vanity and cool chunk of granite to top it.
Still need to finish the shower enclosure.
Project #3.
Picked up a 90's vintage Rem 700 Mtn Rifle in the righteous 30-06. Had the bolt fluted and skeletonized. Tuned the trigger to a crisp 3 pounds. Will put in a new firing pin assembly, trigger guard, new stock, Talleys, top it with a Leup 6x36 and it'll be good to take to the range. Or maybe I should test fire it first.....
I need to get these wrapped up, because 2 of these just showed up.
