You can see where that Dremel got away from him a few times. The scary part is, that he was proud enough of that work to take a picture I'd like to see the barrels he "messed" up practicing! :

Re: Beretta A300 Outlander for dove hunting?
Most of my hunting buds use an O/U of one brand or another, I like a Browning Superposed myself, but you can't tell a man what shotgun to use any more than you can tell em what type of woman to

Re: Stock finish turning dark ?
45colt, old-time wood workers would use the sun to darken wood without any stain.. A light colored piece of wood will darken right up after just a few days in bright sunlight. This is a technique I have used for years to match one piece (color wise) to the piece being repaired.
