Gun procastination?

[bigboreblr]

Anything you guys got overdue gun wise? Gun needs a scope, repair work, finishing a project?

Got a flintlock I need to dial in well. Probably more a shootign competition piece than for hunting, bt itll go out with me every now n then.

Still got to camo paint a few guns. I have small 22 range for practice at home. Wanted to cut back into the woods a bit more. Want to get 35 yards instead of 25. Practice target is a self healing targert a little bigger than a cherry. Offhand and have a chair with a rest to act like a treestand.

What are you guys lazy on?

Countless things to finish load development on. Lots of things along that line.

Otherwise, some of the most egregious sins would be...

I have a Savage shotgun I took apart to work on.... just looked at an online post where I mention it.... looks like October of 2024. It's still in pieces. I would have sworn it was Oct 2025 when I did.

I took a Ruger No.1 apart to take a Jard trigger out of it, put the factory trigger back in and sell it. That would have been 2021. It's still in pieces.

I have a Mossberg SSI shotgun that I took apart to add a better recoil pad to. Cut the stock and never went any farther. That was probably 2004? It's still in pieces.

I have a muzzle loader that's been apart for probably 30 years. I've slowly pieced it all together over time, but there's still a barrel band missing.

And when I say in pieces, I don't mean together waiting to go back together, I mean scattered here, there and everywhere.

I have 1927 Winchester 1894 I need to get around to figuring out how to scope without drilling holes. When our herd bounces back I’d like to drop the hammer on one with it.

Tang sight can be an option.

I was hoping for at least the magnification of an old Weaver 2.5 scope. Give me a little zoom but keep it old school.

I need to get my new range toy tonthe range. Alas, it will have to wait til May.

Super stoked about it, though.

I bought a circa 1911 LC Smith SxS two years ago. Had it reblued and case hardened and intended to refinish the stock myself. It was in much worse shape than I realized and decided to restock it. Not willing to spend $2500+ to have it done professionally, I thought I'd try my hand at doing it myself. Project is way above my skill level. It's been sitting idle for a year now.

Yep....bought a pristine early 80's Ruger 77 in .257 Roberts two years ago and mounted it with a vintage Leupold 2x7. Have yet to get to the range with it...which is ridiculous as my range is my back 40 and really I just have no excuse. Pathetic.

I also need to clean my silencer. I've never cleaned it, and there are bits of white fouling rattling around inside.

All of a sudden I feel much better about myself, I only have one gun in pieces.
