They've been doing it for so many years in Brookswood, they have the system down pat.
Langley is a long way from Squampton. What were you doing in my part of the country?

Thanks for the slugs! 
I brought the target back home so they could wrap it for my birthday. That's the problem with gun stuff, you can't really buy someone ammo or accessories without a valid PAL. So we're stuck buying our own gun related gifts!

| I like shooting the shotgun, so I have been shouldering it a lot. Speaking of which, I'd like to refinish it. After 40 years it needs some TLC. Do you guys sell the Tru-Oil and Bluing refurbishing sets?

Cool to hear Z. I have to try skeet shooting one of these days.
As for the tru oil, it works well. But nothing beats a good hand sanding and stain. Or tacticool hardware. | |

Anyways, I want to do this myself, so sending it out is not going to happen. The gun is stripped, sanded, stained, and I removed all the old bluing already. Regular vinegar does wonders. What would happen if I just polished the barrel? Going to go to CGN and read about that option. I also wouldn't mind simply polishing the aluminium receiver, not sure how that would work out and how well it would look over time.
Here is a teaser of work in progress - lots more work to go.  | |

So far, so good. Been chipping away at this slowly but surely. Painted the receiver, ejector, screws, and mag tube the other day. 
Today I blued the barrel - that was a fun process and it turned out great. I just used Outers bluing from CT and took my time, did several coats and I'm quite satisfied with how well it turned out. No pics yet, I'm letting it cure for a few days.
Also managed to polish the trigger assembly, wax the buttstock, and then I sanded down the stock and pump. The natural wood is very light so I wasn't sure if I should stain it before adding Tru-oil. 
So I wanted to see if the Tru-oil would darken it up, and added a first coat and let it dry. It didn't darken much at all. 
So when that was dry enough to sand, I added a thin layer of black stain and it is now going the direction I envisioned. 
I'm going to sand out the grooves in the black stain, sand it again and I'll probably need to do a second or third coat of black before I can then start back with the Tru-oil. Overall, it's been a great project to do during this nice little heat wave - I hang in my gazebo and stay outta the sun. It's been fun learning how to do all these processes. I'm probably going to need to watch a video to show me how to put it all back together, cuz as time goes by so does my memory.

Pretty good deal with 2 left.
I bought 2 to get free shipping. Note that I bought this like late June and it took forever to restock.

FYI for those that work daytime during the week. Pcdhfc has changed their times to summer hours now. They open until 9pm Tuesdays and Thursdays now. Anytime during the evenings are probably the beat times to go. There's almost always a few open lanes whenever I go on those days.

Somewhat random question here...
Does anyone know where I can get some .50 cal ammo cans for cheap?
Surplus stores are killing it with $30 each.
