Hello, I am looking for a bsa scorpion tactical stock in excellent condition Just the stock!!! Cheers. Stevie

ok here is a photo, first time using photobucket

Thanks mate that's ok, There is a good old fashioned ironmonger that's sells it close to where I live. Cheers. Stevie.

Thank for the advice everyone, Been doing a bit of reading, and seems the stuff to get is oxalis acid which could get it back to how it was before I tried to stain it. If that doesn't work then I am screwed will try and get some pictures up. Thanks all Stevie

Hello, Got a darker one to try, but doing the same thing, it dries on the surface then wipes off Cheers

Hello The stock was done with 0000 steel wool, but I did notice it was as smooth as glass before I tried to stain it, let it dry over night. Maybe I have over sanded as I was up to 800 grit, but the stock didn't even darken at all. Loads of head scratching going on!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers.

Hello, Will try and upload a few Cheers Bloody iPhone won't upload pictures!!!!!!!!

Hello I decided to refinish my beech stock. Everything has gone great. Stripped the factory finish off, sanded down through all the grits, the stock is now lovely and smooth. I got some Liberon water based walnut stain. I applied the stain per instructions, but for some reason the wood is not absorbing the stain, the stock has gone from very pale to a light dirty brown colour. I tried a second coat the next night, and let it dry over night, same thing again wiped off with a damp cloth. Any help would be greatly appreciated Stevie.

Hello, Thanks to everyone for the great advice!! Will start stripping ASAP, and if it all goes tits up, then i will have to do some serious begging to the wife for a new walnut one. Cheers. Stevie

Hello, I don't suppose anyone knows how much longer a beech scorpion stock is compared an ultra beech stock at the forend. Cheers.

Hello Roger, That's very kind of you mate, But I've just discovered one of my dads mates use to make and refurbish old golf clubs. He has got loads of gel stain and all the other stuff I will need, along with a helping hand. Thanks again mate. Steve.

Hello John, That's a cracking stock mate, that's just the colour I am looking for!!! Was it hard to do mate. Cheers

Hello, For sale is my UTG 3x9x40 IR SCOPE. 3 inch sunshade It is in very good condition, with only a few tiny Scratches. Perfect working order. I will be honest in saying that the turrets adjustment is not as good as a hawke or the like. The only thing different is the cap that covers the Battery for the IR is a hawke one. The UTG one was stolen! Comes with sportsmatch ht07c mounts £35 posted uk mainland. Cheers. Stevie.

Hello mate, I have a XTX regged ultra .22, I get 75 full power shots from mine. Shot count for me was an added bonus, but having no power curve and running at a constant 11.4 - 11.5 is bliss Don't get me wrong, it's not cheap but WELL WORTH IT. Darrin at XTX did a grand job. A.T.B stevie

Roger, I would be trying to get a nice dark earthy brown. I have read on the tinternet that beech doesn't take a dark stain very well, and seems to end up that orangy/brown which is what I am trying to avoid! Cheers. Stevie.
