	That is very nice. Am thinking that it must be from the same wood CPA made up for my Hepburn. Looks almost the same. Also a tung-oil finish. Sending mine out for checkering next month.

	Glenn - 2x CPA 44 1/2 w/22LR (Shilen ratchet-rifled & Bartlein 5R rifled), 38-40RH & 38-55WCF (Bartlein 5R rifled) & 40-65WCF (GrnMtn 'X') barrels

	would you mind telling me the cost of checkering. I have really haven't considered it because of cost but wish I could afford it.

	if you think you have it figured out then you just dont understand

	Argie- I had CPA do their "standard" checkering on my new one last year- Fabulous job, clean cut, tasteful- $300 and a bargain at that! Chuck V

If it isn't dried really well, it is easy to get a gooey mess going yes sir I learned the hard way on another rifle. currently I only have one coat of BLO on it and I can add another coat anytime as it has been about a week. BLO needs a few days to set. even after it feels dry wait a few days for it to be completely dry. it is good you mentioned it as others don't need to learn the hard way most commercial oil has some hardener's in it and it is not necessary to wait more than a day. BLO never sets, it just soaks in. The LO that sets is raw, and is used in paints and putty, etc. -- Aonghas

Wait a bit (quite a bit!) - I'm restoring a 4-bore flintlock oval-bore elephant-gun, stock to be made from a walnut blank and chequered where necessary. I have the blank and a lot of the original gun. I shall not be doing too much to it until the weather warms up a bit though. As an old crofter friend used to say: "If I'm spared..." -- Aonghas

	I think you'd be happy with the job that CPA does. They did an excellent job on the checkering of my #52. Chris.
