Part 2 - http://forum.pafoa.org/gun-pictures-...fit-srock.html
So I've been working on this for this past week and half.
After too much time spent on fitting, shaping, sanding, and finishing, its finaly started to come along nicely.
I originaly tried to finish it with Linseed oil, but its colot got too dark, and I didn't care for it.
So sanded it down to bare wood again, and this time I started to finish with Tungoil.
So basicaly, I apply an oil, dry it, then sand it(to see high/low spot) down, and just repeat that.
After 20 coats or so, it got too shiny... I didn't like it.
So I rough it again with 320grid, and applied 5 more coats of "thin" tungoil, this is what I got...
Next to Nephew's OEM Barracuda stocked Chipmunk single shot.
You can see that my stock is shinier then OEM finish!
I put the gun back together, as I'm not going to be home for next week or so.
But I intended to work on it little more(there are still few spots that needs to be even out).
I still have not figure out what Im going to do with recoilpad.
Should have bought ground to fit type pad before finishing it.
Oh well, could have, and should have. I learned something for next time.
I'm definatly glassbedding it. And piller bed. And new scope!
That'll be next installment of this build...Audemus jura nostra defendere
