Just got this here Scout.
It needs some clean-up and oil. I might have to slip off to my shop after work.

Mike nothing really special about a 72 scout but for the fact it is such a special little knife. Got one myself. Good find.

[Meridian_Mike]

That's a good'ern Mike. Shine it up and the Magpie in me will come out.

LOL..... Magpie huh?
Yep, I see that last note down in your signature.... You must like 72's.

You must have been out of town. I thought that was common knowledge.

David that's a pretty good looking first generation on the bottom there. Is the bone good on the pile side?

Thank you Greg. Looks about the same as the mark side except it has a crack that hasnt seperated yet. I didnt see the crack in the pics. The BIN was low enough I'd have bought it any way. I can take a pic of the pile side if you'd like.

[gsmith7158]

Yes sir I always like looking at those oldies. I'd put a drop of zap a gap in there and stabilize that crack.

[DM11]

Here's both sides.

[Colonel26]

That’s a fine looking first gen 72. One of my favorites!

If I may, what is “zap a gap”? My first thought is super glue but I might be way off base! LOL

It's pretty much the same thing but flows as little better than super glue. It gets down in that crack before it sets.

Thank you, sir. If I’d been a little more awake I’d probably thought of Googling it last night

Greg I went to order some zap a gap and noticed their were several different viscosities available. Which one would you recommend?

David, I wasn't aware that it came in different viscosities. I'll have to check mine when I get home. By definition as viscosity pertains to a liquid, the higher the number the thicker it is so I would go with a low number.

You want the “pink” zap a gap. Sometimes it will be listed as thin. This is the one to use on those hairline or tight handle cracks. It is as thin as water and will wick into the crack.

Often I’ll squirt a few drops in to a 20 oz coke bottle top and use a tooth pick to brush tiny amounts at a time along the crack. It will wick right down to the bottom. Keep going until the crack is filled.

On a side note I used it one time in refinishing a rifle stock too. Instead of using water to raise the grain and then resanding, I brushed on a layer of the thin zap a gap, let it dry, sanded off what was on top of the wood and repeated. It worked great. Then I finished it off with an oil finish. It’s good stuff.

Wade, I didn't know about the pink zap-a-gap. That's good info! Gotta go hunt some up.

Thank you Wade! I'll get some ordered.

Three different viscosities.

[doglegg]

I know it says Remington, and I know it says R14 but we all know what it really is. And an advertiser to boot. Was able to get it for a $20 bill and am glad I did.

Wow!! That is a nice one!!

[jerryd6818]

Floyd, for your hunting enjoyment, there are at least three variations of the R-14. Look for them. Collect all three.
