lllluke1 329 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 After reading Bigmac's posts on his stock revival's. I thought I would re-do my old Airsporter. It started off like this I got it to this: Now came the problems, and after a couple of pm's back and for with bigmac, I got her finished: Not the best I know, but 10x better than what she was. I'm happy with her and to me that's all that matters. So thanks again to bigmac for his help Luke 5 Quote Link to post

bigmac 97kt 13,780 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Well done , i told you if you take your time she will be right You have done a cracking job Luke and what a transformation ,,,,she looks stunning ,,,don't think i could improve on her my self And at the end of the day like you say,d ,,,,your happy with her and that's all that counts You have fetched what was in its time the creme de creme of what was the most sort after rifle in its time back to being even better than new . The markings on her are nice and the darker patches make her stand out now just let her stand for a week or two to let her really harden off When you start to do the stocks lads it is nerve raking and especially the finishing touches as if they go wrong you have to start all over again . And no need to thank me Luke YOU DID THE JOB on the stock and credit where credit is due you did a cracking job on her i was only there at the other end of the pm,s You should be proud of your self for even trying it never mind the stunning rifle you have in front of you all i can say is TOP CLASS LUKE TOP FECKING CLASS atvbmac :thumbs: PS,,, so come on lads if you have a rifle with the stock all tater,d and torn then get set about them and bring them back to life then put the picks up for us to see if you get stuck just pm me and ill guide you through it 2 Quote Link to post

Michael J B Lancaster 69 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Well done that man. Now you know what you're doing, no reason not to do it again and again and again, whenever she gets a little tatty. Something, something teach a man to fish... 1 Quote Link to post
