    Talking Puzzle of restoring a thing

    Hello, here`s a puzzle for all restorers.

    Today i had to restore a thing. What can it be? No marks on the wood and the few metalparts but a little rust on the metal. It looked more than one time used and had no idea if i had to use BLOicon or Tung oil . But i am sure that it isnt worth to parkerize the metalparts. No problems with headspace but you can get enormous problems with your wife and daughter when you dont want to do it. Any thoughts ?
    O.K. i`ll tell it to you.

    It`s a guiena pig house.

    Have more fun with restoring my rifles!

    BTW if you must do someday a thing like this, dont ask your daughter if guinea pigs taste good with garlic on the BBQ

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I was with biologists in a National Park in Saskatchewan, Canadaicon, a week ago; I asked if anyone knew what prairie dogs tasted like... they thought I was kind of strange. Oh well!

    Did you know that if you pick a guinea pig up by the tail, its eyes will fall out?
