TimberPig, I' ll try to answer your questions.

" Frist, when you talk about JB' s, are you referring to JB' s bore polish available from Brownell' s, and what is the advantage of using it? Does it smooth up the barrel for easier cleaning or loading?" That' s a yes on all counts.

" Where did you get the filler screw for the sights, Brownells (Brownells is 4 miles from my house )?" You lucky dog. The scope base filler screws work for the rear sight holes, the front sight filler is one I scavenged at Bass Pro in Springfield, MO. Their gunshop accumulates filler screws and they are more than glad to see come begging.

" Do you recommend removing the 209 ejector?" Absolutelyl!

" Finally, has anybody seen a " Michigan Hunters special edition" with the laminated wood stocks?" No, but I think they are either the nutmeg or salt&pepper laminated stock made by http://www.boydboys.com/.
