Started Working On The Stock

[Lewissc 48]

Well after f**king up my new r10se stock with tescos walnut oil, I confided in Mac to help me out, what a gent he is. Made a start on it today, it's been bathed, cleaned and dried just gotta wait till tomorrow now to go and buy some wire wool and tung oil as I've been minding my 10 week old all day today. Mac has asked me for some before and after pics so thought I'd share them with everyone

Right this is the stock before I started the work guys. I took it out yesterday and when the rain started the stock went really patchy and sticky

[Lewissc 48]

And this is after the bath, you can't see it much on the pics but it is much lighter now

that stock will come up nice

I've gone full circle... i got rid of a buddy bottle pcp last year but seeing all the r10's and rapids on here all the time ....

I'm thinking???!!!

had hold of the new r10 last week.. very nice.

just follow macs advice and it'll come up a treat!

It's was a lovely stock when I first bought it si I just wish I'd left the bloody thing alone to start with lol

[si brown 8,486]

pretty sure we've all fu@ked things up on rifles, its a learning curve!

they don't put too much effort into stocks at the factory...

it'll look better than before

That's just how we are with these things mate - airgunners are tinkerers. We get hold of these things and can't help taking them apart

I'm sure it'll be better than the original when you've finished

 

.... I can still feel the whack that my dad gave me for dismantling a carriage clock when I was a kid

You will have a beauty when you've finished.

Jimmy talked me through a walnut stock and it looks even better than the pictures do it credit for pal. He knows his stuff?

[bigmac 97kt 13,776]

She is looking good much better than before

 

the stock will darken down again when you put the oil on

 

the grain has pop,d out now so when you apply the oil the grain will stand out even more than it did when new

 

keep at it and she will be right

 

glad to help
