First off whats the stock like and the blueing

Iv say,d this time and time again

but TIME is your best friend when it comes to a refurb on rifles

if you rush a job it will turn out half done .

I get a picture in my head of how i want it to look and i dont give up until iv got it right

just some of the rifles iv done below and one of them was an old classic hw80

Ebay bis adjustable but pad

GunTuff Adjustable Rubber RECOIL BUTT PAD Stock Shoulder Rifle Buttplate Shotgun

On Beach stocks i use tru oil

Birchwood Casey Tru Oil stock finish professional rifle gun stock finishing

you apply this once you have sanded the stock down and smoothed it off 

using lint free cloth to apply it

you will need some 0000 wire wool as well

Steel Wire Wool Grade 0-0000 For Polishing Rush Cleaning Remover Gray UK

when you put the first two coats of oil on use the wire wool to lightly remove any lines or marks

that are left on

remember it has to stand for a good 12 hours or more between coats to dry

hope this helps

Use nitro mors

to remove the old lacquer

or a stronger paint stripper if you can

Put it on all over with an old clean paint brush then wrap it in cling film and leave for an hour or two

top tip use an old dinner knife but the top blunt edge and run it along this will remove the old lacquer

DO NOT USE THE SHARP EDGE

And if you do a good job it will turn out like this

or these

There is a company that sells some nice custom made stocks on eBay if you don't fancy doing it yourself, they are a straight swap and come in different finish,s and styles depending on your budget

And when she was finished

Keep with her age LL, no custom stocks.

                     I shoot an old classic 1984 HW 77, .177 full length that i bought from Jimmy ( Big Mac ) and i just love the restored stock etc that he did.

Here you go,

Show her off for what she is LL is my humble opinion.

 

                            Good luck.

Thanks for your advice, I’ll certainly take every bit on board, do the adjustable butt pads fit straight on or does it have to be modified ect thanks again
