How many socks would that be? Asking for a friend....

I think TT has a special "stocking" for this time of year.

Plus, anyone think it's coincidence that TT does a retreat just about the time of year that Santa's work is ramping up?

Better not make the naughty list.

I believe those are JaXson.

Hears to hoping TT makes a return after the holidays...now would be better.

Ordered the pillars for the CZ 457 from Pete's Pillars. After researching and measuring, I determined I needed his Slim Line pillars for my stock, which he suggests anyways for the Tacticool/Pro Varmint stock. They are 7/16" diameter vs 1/2". The standard diameter ones were not going to allow me to drill out the holes big enough for an adequate amount of epoxy surrounding the pillars.

I bought the 2oz package of Devcon steel epoxy, because it was only a few dollars more than the less than 1 oz syringe style package.

I still need to figure out what I'm going to use for a release agent. And pick up some modeling clay as well.

And thanks TJ K. for posting that link to the info about the pillar install. I found it very informative as to why the pillars really benefit a rifle. And the correct way to install them.

Mineral oil based and will not dry out.

Dab it on, let dry, do not wipe off or polish it, dab on a second time.

I will definitely do that. Start to finish. This will be a fun project that I'm looking forward to.

I really like that so many serious projects are going on right now.

Nevermind. I see it will stain. I just ordered the modeling clay and kiwi stuff that was recommended. Done. Easy decision.

Agreed. Even though a 1911 isn't my cup of tea, I enjoy reading thru the various builds that are going right now about them. I appreciate craftsmanship at all skill levels.

It would seem the 1911 offers itself up to be modified. One of the reasons I love it.
