Trying out Missed's special potion

[Branxhunter]

Having a go at an old Sako L461 sporter stock that was on my donor action for the .20-222

This is what it looked like:

Should look good after another few weeks rubbing. Just wait till you get to the oil and flannelette stage.

Nice wood. Glad you are learning to do it yourself. I don't think Missed knows when to stop

No problems on that front Kicken. Work has been relentless over the last 12 months and especially so at the moment. I will be heading down to Melbourne today to be at VCAT for the next three days.

I am also working on a very banged up L461 varmint stock at the moment. It will eventually house the equally banged up action with Chappo's .223 Tobler barrel, however Jerome finished the chambering and threading of my .20-222 barrel last week, and sent off the action for rebluing. I suspect that the whole package will get back here well before the stock I am having made, so it will probably initially sit in the old varmint stock.

Just paint it and pretend it's plastic. Don't let that wood grain suck you in

He is not getting sucked in.
That is what he is letting happen to the oil!
