The darker wood on the guinea pig looks gorgeous. Is that stained, or just the natural colour?

Thanks, staining it was one of the first things I did to it.
It was a french tickler. I liked how they looked online when I saw others', but when I saw mine in person it was like a friggin neon orange lmao

How is the PA37? Been really curious about them and only hear sparse talk about how well they work.

I bought it right before releasing all of my new Homesteader parts, I've been way too busy with orders to test it yet haha. I'd like to go iut tomorrow to shoot, will let you know.

Ok range report, kind of a piece of shit hahaha. Constant failure to feed, I'm going to find invest in some snap caps to figure out the issue.
It's almost like it gets caught up when you pump forward, and it can't quite catch onto the rim of the next shell. At one point the previous shell didn't eject but it did attempt to load the next, and since the ejection hole and loading gate are the same hole they kind got stuck pretty bad.
In the gun's defense I didn't clean or disassemble or anything before testing it. Still, stuff should work out of the box, at least for a little while!

I'd heard that they were finicky feeders, which was kind of always my fear. They look cool, are a neat idea on paper for a fun goof around shooter, but I'd heard they were hit or miss on initial reliability which was making me shy away.
I hope it improves, as does the fun, if it was packing grease related may not be too bad to get it going though I never knew Turkish guns in the past to have too much trouble with that. Thanks for the range report!

how do you like the pa37? I like an ithaca/trench gun clone but I'm worried about how well it would hold up
