Here is my 1377 converted to a 1322 with longer .22 caliber pellet barrel, better pumper grip along with black pistol grips. I put a red/green holographic sight on it also for my older eyes. :mrgreen:

It has been a while since I worked on my Cedar Strip Panel boat. I kind of got burned out for a while and just let it sit. Lighthouse Keepers Kid has been after me to finish so we could go fishing and I have been busy the last few days when I wasn’t waiting for glue or epoxy to dry. I just...

Does anyone know where on the site or web there are complete instructions for fiberglassing? A how to for dummies would be nice. Thanks, ET :roll:
