Who`s doin stock repairs ??

[Buster321c 1,010]

Im after someone local to me if posible , to strip the varnish off a stock and oil it .

 

Before i get 18 reply`s that its easy to do , and i can do it myself , yes i know i can .

 

I have all the oils and grain sealers i`ll need to oil a tree , but its time i dont have .

 

It`s worth a try before i commit and end up starting something that`ll take me ages to finish ...........

 

Cheers Bust .

I know the pain buster

 

Took me ages to get round to finishing my stock, I think Marksman had finished 2 rifle refurbs by the time i had done my 1 stock!

 

Because i had such little time i was rushing and it could of turned out alot better, its ok and will do for what i want it for ..... but to be 100% happy with it you need to take your time

 

Good luck mate hope it turns out well

I know a guy tony on daystate owners club charges 100 quid and has your stock for about a week and the results is amazing. You only have to take one look at his stocks lol infact, he bought a plain stock an sold his other one..didn't want to take it hunting etc lol beautiful wood fair play to the guy...think he said its 100 quid cos it takes about +hrs

[robwelsh 354]

If he charges £100 quid I think I would rather have my stock dipped for about £60.00! Plus if he can turn a stock around in a week then it dont seem feasable he takes hours to do one?. Just saying.

[Buster321c 1,010]

Yes , i know the chap . I wont name him here , but i know him .

 

As said , the thing with stocks and oil is .......

 

once a day for a week

 

once a week for a month

 

and once a month for a year .......

 

How can a stock absorb all that oil in 5 , 16 hour days ............

 

thats with a full strip and prep ...............

[robwelsh 354]

Don't shoot the messenger.

[robwelsh 354]

[Buster321c 1,010]
