charly hunter Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well it's been a while since I said my son was going to strip and paint my nice tiger stripe walnut stock and the stock I got from Millpool for my .22, well after a few days and a few coats of paint and then stripping it and repainting it a few times The stock is all but finished, well the .22 stock is anyway. This was the start of the .22 stock a little while ago; And now it is looking like this I am well pleased with it so far, I am not sure what he means by he needs to add finishing touches, but I can't wait to get it on the rifle, then I may even get him to do the rifle and scope too I haven't told him that yet though He will take orders too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charly hunter Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Gray car primer, the black is a satin finish car paint and the green satin is a enamel Humbrol paint, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager SA Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Just a tip, if you decide to do the rifle (and if its blued) make sure you remove all traces of rust prior to painting otherwise it may corrode beneath the paint. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charly hunter Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 those pics dont do it justice nige in the flesh its much sexier You are right pard, they were taken with Davids phone, I am about to fit the stock so I will put pic's on here later. Have a few mods to do to get it to fit snug, but it shouldn'e be a problem, if I can get that .22 stock to fit Millpool's .17 then this should be a breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a cornish foot Martin All in order pard, just a matter of when the man can do it for me, well that and I am unsure of havin' it done as it was built in 1957 and still shoot's a 1/2 inch group, so do I really need it shortened?????

Guest varmartin Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Shortening it may even improve its accuracy...if done correctly... You could end up with a nice fresh crown and a stiffer tube. No smutty jokes please... What it will do is make it handle really well when moving it around the cab and poking it out the truck window... I had Helston lop 8 inches off my Mauser 201 Luxus and it still shoots 1/4 @50 yards Just make sure John uses a NEW Sandvik blade when he does it for you....
