A New Guy Question About The Rules.

[captkirk222]

I know that this is very much a preservation forum and I myself am pretty much a preservationist now, but I was curious about some past mistakes of mine. I was wondering whether or not it would be acceptable to show one or two of the mosins that my dad and I have that we "patched" the finish on before we knew better? I know that this is pushing the boundaries of the rules and I am a bit remorseful for having done it, but with the damage caused by the haphazard way that these rifles were packaged by the importer we wanted to "restore" the damaged finish. They are just a few refurb 91/30s that have some mildly interesting features, but had significant finish damage to the stocks. I will state that no sanding was done and the original shellac was not removed, just "patched" with a bit of new shellac. I will be understanding if it is not allowable and if this thread needs to be deleted, I understand why. If the answer is no, I will limit myself to just the mosins that we have not touched other than cleaning and shooting. We had the best of intentions at the time and I apologize for my mistakes as it was my idea to patch the finish.

Patching and stabilizing the shellac is done by many, not me, I don't care if it falls off, looks more authentic that way. Gives it "patina"

[captkirk222]

I know, it's just that at the time we thought that repairing the damaged finish was the right thing to do because the damage was caused by the import process and wasn't 'original'. I just wanted to know if it was okay to show off the oddities that were either the reason we bought the rifle or were discovered after we started learning about them. I wasn't sure if what we had done was outside what was allowable to post here or not. I don't make a habit of breaking rules anymore, not since I got into high school and got a little more serious about life. I do; however, know for certain that what I did to the stock of my "shooter" M44 is not allowable here, so I know that I can't post it.

Shave head, wearing shorts and flip flops paint yourself purple, orange, and green, holding the rifle above your head run around the outside of the house in full daylight 100 times singing at the top of your voice " I am a little tea pot short and stout, this is my handle, this is my spout " If you can accomplish that without getting arrested or hauled of for a mandatory 72 hour hold and psych evaluation, or both, then the milsurp fairy's will forgive you. Oh yea, I almost forgot, have friend film it, post to youtube and link to the board, be sure he catches what happens when the cops get there.

See PM.

[captkirk222]

Longcolt44- I understand and I will only post the (more numerous anyway) untouched ones only.

Junk Yard Dog- I considered your offer and decided that I simply cannot part with my hair yet, I'll just have to wait and see if it ever starts falling out before I can make amends (it will probably be a while) .

OK, lets talk about food, I like bacon, lots of bacon, bacon on everything, or wrapped around everything Triple bacon cheeseburger with fried onions, that's three 1/2 pound meat patty's, six strips of bacon between each patty, and real cheese, Munster or Swiss, onions distributed around everything and served on a real roll, not that " hamburger bun " crap Need a cup of thick brown gravy to dip it in, and a tall unsweet ice tea. Might as well have some mashed potatoes with that, bacon mashed potatoes with a big chunk of real butter on top, and lots more thick brown gravy. Need some roughage so steamed broccoli will do.

How dare you call your self captkirk and not be willing to break rules. Some time the good of the one out weighs the good of the many.

"So Sulu, I bought this Arisaka from some guy at a flea market on Rigel 3. It had some pansy flower on it I ground off, I stripped the finish and put a coating of Polytribenyl on, and opened up the bore so it can shoot these 9x57 Klingon rounds I found in my grandfather's basement. What do you think?"

Tell me where he lives. I don't want to answer that call and neither does Sgt Rob. (I'm speaking for him but I know he doesn't want that call)
