Thanks Charlie ,
What's best for the grime on the stock? I ordered replacement butt plate. I like the look of the polished wear on the black grip and butt plate. Also I'd like to seal the stock chip that was renailed to place years ago . Thanks Last edited by Paul Kozy; 11-26-2012 at 12:17 PM.. |

Paul, try some rubbing alcahol,tooth brushes and rags on the stock. A 55 gallon drum of elbow grease isn't a bad idea either. A lot of scrubing and you will have a much improved stock. Just staw away from any sandpaper or steel wool on the wood.

https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A2G6XBubJt2UM8 Here are pics after using Minwax Refinisher (promoted as cleaner and won't remove finish and patina). Then I used Watco Danish Oil. These pics are before oil dried. I think I will apply more coats of oil then Minwax Paste Wax. The Minwax Refinisher quickly dissolved the years of gunk and grime, applied with clean rag. I wanted to see more wood grain but leave some dark areas. Much like a guitar sunburst finish to my eye.

Nicely done Paul. It matches your shoes very nicely.
No realy, it looks good enough to shoot.

My last coats after the Danish Oil were Minwax WipeOn Poly Satin. I'm gonna let dry than wax with Renaissance polish.
