I got assigned to refinish about 20 M14s and 10 M1 Garand. These stocks have been sanded and finished multiple times. I am trying to get the finish with what we have. The wood is beat up and dented.
Only "finish" we have is Minwax (Sequestration = no funding) They also add polyurethane to give them some sort of durability.
These rifles get used outdoors for funerals, colorguard, military events. Most of the users just know them as guns, They get dropped, kicked, etc. (The results of needing to be finished multiple times)
Main question, how to apply poly smoothly? Other budget minded top coat? I'll get some pictures later on. On some of the stocks, they still have the original markings, most of them are gone due to the sanding.
