Darren, that turned out great! I was curious what direction you were going with that rifle.

 

[dlbleak]

thanks Brad, It wasn't my original vision but they never turn out exactly as you planned!
two thumbs up for Brads's skills!

Daniel, did you get the stock stained?

Little update: I worked on the hand rest, rounded out the nose of it and sanded it, it's ready for staining. I'm gonna stain the wood grey (think the pepper laminate) with about 10 coats of tru oil (I may need to wait for it to warm up).

I'd highly recommend tru oil, it sets up hard and clear... but you're gonna need more than 10 coats. The real trick is building up three or four initial coats before knocking down the high spots with steel wool. Do it lightly after each coat after that, pretty soon you'll have a 'smooth-as-glass' finish. Last stock I finished took about 40 light coats (one finger application) Turned out looking like ultra-fancy HD-nylon.

Darren that's a negative, this is a garage project and it's cold.


40 coats that's dedication, the purple stock I did I used 10 or 12 and it came out pretty nice in my opinion. I'll just have to keep adding u till I'm happy.

I really like what you've done. And I think the grey stain is a good idea. I recently refinished an SKS using Minwax ebony.

40 coats of truoil...that's dedication. But I bet looks great.

Thank you! I saw your sks and it looks great. Do you go by the same handle on survivors sks board?
