Step 4 Colonial Kit Nose Cap Installation

[@raytribble8075]

I love your honesty and detail to "things happen" not all parts are perfect and al parts should be inspected in advance. Thank you again for an outstanding video!

Thanks Ray, we try to make the videos useful, and we won't be doing any favors by "airbrushing" over things to look perfect

I am amazed how you make a piece of wood and some steel and brass and end up with something so nice. One day I hope to make one mine.

[@kiblerjim]

thank you very much.

I like how you secured the nose cap. You fit everything like the Master you are but the nose cap was first rate. Other just glue it and call it good or put one pin in. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I appreciate it, knowing your time is very important.

Is there a way to get an even finish on the nose cap after its been pinned to the stock? I've been using the Historic houseparts solution on my brass and steel. very happy with the results so far, but the brass seems to be tricky if not submerged.

This can be difficult. The best way I've found is to soak a paper towel with the solution and hold it on the part. Repeat in order to get more darkening and color. Doesn't work perfect, but helps.

I would be happy to purchase one of them for around 350 to $400 But the price you're wanting for one of them. I can buy up-to-date top the line firearms for that price The only way I would pay that much is for a original And that's just the facts common sense.
