Winchester .308 Barrel

[rd_ab_penman]

With a .308 center band and a .308 for the cap.
Need the center band to prevent the cross refill cap from bottoming out on finial stud
when the refill is retracted.
Cleaned the projectile and casings with Brasso, polished with Fitz, wiped down with lacquer
thinner, plugged .308 casing necks with Play-Doh, plugged projectile nib with bees wax and
applied 4 coats of lacquer using my "Dipping Method".

Les is doing awesome things again! And he's come up with a new use for PlayDoh too(anyone else ever eat any of that when you were a kid).


Curious about the dipping.....how long will the finish as seen last once it has been dipped? Will it start to tarnish eventually?

Scott,

I have been using one of my lacquer dipped rifle cartridge pens daily for the past 4 years and no evidence of any tarnishing yet.
