Background on the Crisco / Fireclean thing: http://www.vuurwapenblog.com/general-opinion/lies-errors-and-omissions/ir-spectra-fireclean-crisco/

Redditors cheekily posted about a "99% off bulk Fireclean" sale which was Amazon's product page for Crisco.  But the comments had a bunch of smart-sounding science people debating the analysis and stuff, so it seems worth reading too if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/comments/3kt43b/bulk_package_of_fireclean_99_off/

We got it done.  Built 100% by the boy and test fired all in one day.  Super easy!

So easy, I might actually need another one, in fact.    ;)

The iron sights are OK but I have a 2x7 Leupold sitting here, NIB from a inline muzzleloader project that never got finished.  That might be really nice for his deer hunt.

It's called Black Rifle Disease for a reason. Buy now. Market is flooded.

That's fantastic.  I can imagine how great he felt to be able to do it.  It'll make taking his first deer even that much more special and memorable.  Now you need to have him log on and post some specs and pics so he can be congratulated.
