[QUOTE="400bull, post: 508062, member: 9065"] Well I worked on the stock most of the weekend and have it nearing completion. For my first major attempt at refinishing a stock I must say that I am pleased with how the stock is finishing up. I cannot say the same with the bedding. That was a whole new learning process that I will practice a couple time with my 22’s before I try it again. It was not a total disaster but it did not turn out as well as I had hoped. What I am trying to decide now is if I should go for a polish look to end the stock off with or a satin finish. How do you guys like your stocks polished finish or a satin finished? Stock preperation (I put blue painters tap over the checkering so that I would not sand down the checkering. I also left the recoil pad attached so that I would not round the edges and so the pad would be sanded to to match the stock) Stained (Pictures were take with cell phone. Sorry they are not very clear) I will get a couple more pictures when she is all finished. 400bull [/QUOTE]
