doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion Classic & Custom Single Barreled Sporting Rifles @ doublegunshop.com How do you age a Silvers pad?

Thanks for all the feedback, looks like I have a lot of different choices.

Michael,
Can you please provide more details of the rifle featured here in? You may have previously done so and if yes do you still have a link to that thread? Or a search word would assist. Thanks

Lynn,

Although it has many non-typical Griffin & Howe characteristics that is who I have attributed the rifle to.

The checkering, stock shaping, barrel band sling swivel and the Schnabel horn forend tip are consistent with other G&H's.

What is not is the original barrel and front sight, very short forend and the open pistol grip.

Until some new or better info comes along that where I am on it.

....great thread, cant wait to try some of the "tricks".

Boil the pad in some weak coffee and then let it air dry. Then some linseed oil. Works for the other pads I have seen.

dont forget the sling you got with it was from griffin....paul

Paul,

Thanks, the first thing I always do when I receive a rifle is to remove the sling. I tag and bag it but no slings allowed in the gun room around other rifles.
