Your drivel is defending your "master gunsmith" Ed Landers' trashing of S X S actions with "his" torch.

myth noun: plural noun: myths

1. a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events.

synonyms: folk tale, folk story, legend, tale, story, fable, saga, mythos, lore, folklore, mythology
"ancient Greek myths"

2. a widely held but false belief or idea.

I think the torching would be considered history, not mythology

Thanks for ruining another thread, Ed. Your passive-aggressive BS has grown tiresome to rest of us. Please go away.

Gr:tis not i who trashed this thread by going off topic with wacky posts that have nothing to do with preserving antique wood finishes...

and if you find some posts here tiresome, as i sometimes do, then just ignore them...as i sometimes do... with a yawn...

Ed: we all get that you post for your own malicious entertainment, but to review:
1. Tom specifically asked about the risk of damage to a horn tip while refinishing a stock.
2. He did not ask for our/your opinion about refinishing stocks.
3. YOU said "refinishing 130 year old wood with patina is a sin"

How did you direct your master gunsmith to refinish this stock? It was clearly stripped of the original finish. Was it his idea to pound the doll's head to tighten the action?



Please stop and I will most thankfully do the same.

drew: your post above is another fantasy of your own creation...mostly negative assumptions and accusations, with no foundation in truth or reality...perhaps it is you who should stop...besides this is getting tiresome...

It is a crime to knowingly buy stolen merchandise for either personal use or for resale.
"IF" it is a Sin to refinish a 130 year old stock then it is also a sin to knowingly but the same. This simply gives encouragement to the "Sinner". PERIOD

Actually that peened "Doll's Head" in the last picture is not a Doll's Head at all but a simple rib extension. It is of uniform thickness throughout its length (At least it was prior to peening) & does not have a "Head". Still a crime though.
