Title: Got my work cut out for me
Post by: 4runr on March 09, 2009, 05:57:00 PM

Got a partially sanded '61 factory camo Grizzly, and a painted '61 Kmag.

The Griz is in good shape under the old paint. The Kmag has a bunch of holes in it and is a little beat up under all the paint. The paint comes off easily from the KM. The finish is in bad shape and will all need to come off.

No coin in the Griz and the KM has a nickle in place of the coin. I wouldn't mind if they put a '61 nickle in it.  :bigsmyl:

Kenny - I thought I was doing you the favor??

For those of you that don't know the history of Kenny's 61 Magnum. I knew Kenny wanted the bow. With a few seconds left on the big site - it was going to someone else. I swooped in and got her. Kenny and I then worked out a deal wherein when I got the bow I shipped her directly to Kenny (I didn't even open the box). In exchange Kenny saw to it that another 61 Magnum (this one a 55 pounder!) was mailed to me. I got my bow today as well.
Although the bow I got has 2 filled holes on the shooter side of the window and a big screw in the coin side of the riser. I don't have to work at all to see the beautiful grain in this one.

Thanx Kenny.
