mattybugeye 884 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Cheers !! Will get started on nitromorsing stock tonight so pics will follow Quote Link to post
valboskie 39 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 What a brilliant read mate well done Im stripping down an old webley Falcon from 1965 just now its pitted I just used Wet and dry so far . I will get some birchwood casey rust and bluing remover as it worked a treat for you. The barrel is down to bare metal and feels smooth but there are still darker looking spots all over it Is this the way yours was and I have to sand it more . It looks like leopard print Cheers David Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Come on Matty get those pics of the stock stripped down online and take a few pics after each coat so we can see it taking effect! I'm eager for more! Phil 1 Quote Link to post

mattybugeye 884 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 If I remember rightly they simular to these think would look tacky?? Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Matty, from a practacle point of view I wouldn't have them as my rigs used solely for hunting so they would stand out on those squizzers! Can't wait for the pics as you go. Phil Quote Link to post

The stock was finished in possibly the hardest hard core varnish ,1 and a half tins of nitromorse and 2 hours later were at a stage were we can start sanding Above are pics before we started runs all over and basically awful finish the chequering was pooled with varnish Edited February 8, 2014 by mattybugeye Quote Link to post
