Re: OT - .410 in a Springfield trapdoor
Love the 410 thats why I bought the the 9410.Lots of fun to shoot ,though you do get some stares when you take it to the range to play at shooting some clay birds with it.Plan on bunny busting with this season

On a positive note ,that if he keeps praticing ,hopefully on modern guns not rare antiques,he might eventually become very good and his work sought after.

Re: OT BAKER RIFLE ALMOST DONE
No problem. He normally works on his guns in a particular order so all you might have to do is put down a deposit(half) and the rest on completion which will give you time to pay for it.Also and here is a good tip he loves to dicker on the price.

I picked up a Uberti 76 45/60 myself recently, though I haven t shot it yet as I m assembling componets for it.As for cleaning your brass a lot of guys use Windex with vineagar or a solution of soap water and vineagar.
