Well, like Obama used to say - "Don't boo, vote."
Like I mentioned in a previous comment, too many hunters and firearms owners don't even bother to vote. They stay at home because they don't like the candidate and think their .30-30 and/or duck hunting gun is safe.
The left only cares about the so-called "assault rifles," right?

Why, oh why, would anyone want a single trigger on a hammergun? That's as out of place as tits on a boar hog. …as are the beaver tails on Will Primos’ 5 gun set of Purdey hammer doubles. IMO

Re: Alkanet Staining Technique

Results: Filtering with lab filter paper leads to essentially no residual powder in the oil, but takes a very long time, even using the higher micron paper. Unsurprisingly, the oil with the higher concentration of alkanet powder and longer soak time had a much darker red oil. Here is the new oil and the slow brew high test oil filtering side by side. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/nskjMqGN/PXL-20250707-015025567.jpg) I also had a little real turpentine with alkanet steeping and I decided to filter that through the paper as well. The color is very dark and the filtration was much easier. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/v61pTSJn/PXL-20250706-234822397-MP.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/7xxhmZ6G/PXL-20250707-015134220.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/spFQ14f0/PXL-20250707-015141027-MP.jpg)

Re: Stock replacement

Larry is also top notch. He did work for me with leather pads, recut checkering, et al. Like all good stockers, he, too, is busy. Best to get on someone’s que as soon as possible.
Now, if you’re handy and have patience, both of which I lack, Cottage Craft Industries out of Texas cuts blanks for refitting. Look at their web site.
Good luck.

Re: An interesting rifle.

Ward-Burton? I've never really looked at them before. Rear locking lugs/threads? Interesting. The stock design and buttplate are very American. https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/the-ward-burton-rifle-america-s-first-military-bolt-action/On the one hand, it's wild to think our first military bolt gun was in 1871. On the other, the Swiss Vetterli of 1869 and updated as the 69/71 was also a bolt gun, but also a repeater, with 12 rounds of 41 cal fun in the tube below the barrel. Of course, the Swiss ripped off Winchester's cartridge lifter mechanism and only didn't sued by Winchester because they didn't recognize foreign patents. So the repeating part of that rifle owes credit to a US design of 1866. Thanks for the link, it was a good read and explains a lot as to why it wasn't accepted.
