Looks like it would protect as is...looks quick to apply and remove. Simple and practical.
Cool Design...one of those things that's "Why didn't I think of that..?"

It's off to the Blueing Guy tomorrow afternoon......120 mile trip one way... Got her all polished up and ready to go with the small parts too. The Flinter is going for some show and tell since the wood for both of these BP projects came from this guy...He want's to get a look at the fancies on it. The 700 is going for a retube job in 30-06... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Please stop talking about your rifles, you are making me sick!!...mostly because I can't accomplish that kind of work, but want to. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Seriously though, looking forward to seeing things reassembled after finishing, so post the pics for us.

Hammer...got the metal back today...looks great, real nice deep blue. Just drove 200+ miles round trip to get it back so I'll post a pic later...maybe tomorrow...
Gonna full length bed the stock, mainly to seal it, then do the final sand and start finishing...won't be long now.

I always checker after the finish is done. I'll rub 10 or so more coats on then break out the checkering tools.

Still in the pot waitin' for me to add a little spice and red hot.....
Got precious little time at the present to divulge to it. Got myself into some projects needing more attention than I can afford....some of which involve a few Campfire members and a Black Bear trip that HAS to go off without a hitch...I'm refurbishing my boat for that event...
Things I need to do before the Ramblings rifle is Soup...full length bed the barrel and action, install sling mounts, aquire a Leupy 6x, checker and recheck load parameters....
Got that hand rubbed oil looking like fine wine though...<grins>
