Rifle Stock Restoration

[zteknik]

Thanks for the advise and tips. May give it a shot on a small area but if something doesn't go right I'll get a hold of Z.
I shoot a bit of lacquer (cabinets and such). What's your thoughts on that or should i stick with a rubbing oil or poly.

Lacquer is ok,I've done many stocks like that,but you have to take all of the old finish off.It doesn't react well with other finishes.
Same thing with rubbing oils,you realy can't put a topcoat on it because of it's oily base.

Strip it, then tru oil, don't sand anything. Use a toothbrush to clean checkering while striping and to work in truoil.

You should replace it with a tapco poly stock.





Just kidding please don't do that.

I bought Arrow wood finish from an older gentleman at the gun show. I've used it to touch up an old Sheridan and a marlin 30-30. both times I was pleased with the results. A bit time consuming, and you need a fair amount of sandpaper but it works as advertised. http://mpi.websitewizard.com/ArrowWo...leanBrite.html
