Somebody sent me a No. 1 **IT'S FINISHED!!**

[p_ham]

Why would it take 3 months to do a stock...are you doing like 10 at a time? Asking for a friend...lol

Done right or done fast, you choose. I don't owe you an explanation.

3 months is pretty fast for an oil finish done right.

There's a light at the end boys. Need to dial back the luster a touch and send it off to get checkered.

If you're wondering why it's in an oven, the wind hasn't stopped all year (or the last 10) and it's been rainy so I can't very well set them in the sun. Spending a day at 120 with low humidity helps cure things out.

That really turned out nice, well done.

a @noharleyyet rifle is never complete without a red rubber pad. This is going to be a beaute.

All I can say is "Wow!"

Absolutely gorgeous!

I own that exact same rifle, except mine is in .25-06. I get 3/4" groups out of it. Great deer rifle, although it is on the heavy side. The new stock looks awesome.

Take that ugly red pad off. It contrasts too much. Just put a black pad on it. You've done a super job with the stock. The red doesn't match. Even if you put a brown or tan pad it would look better. Sorry, but just being honest. Keep in mind I love what you did overall.

When it's yours you can dictate what happens with it.

You should post the picture from IG up on here of the buttstock in the sunlight. Gorgeous.

I didn't get much for photos but I dovetailed the barrel, made the mounting stud, and escutcheon. I had purchased pre-made parts when I picked up the stock but ended up opting for stainless so the machines got to cut some metal.

Got the 1st coat sanded into the forend and the 2nd on the butt. The cool thing about an oil finish is you can see the depth grow with each coat.

To be clear to the dude who knows better how to define other people's preferences, the pad's on me, Mr. p-ham knows exactly what he's doing...

...and so do I.

Very nice indeed. just finished up a stock I have been working on for a couple months. Sure does take some time and labor to get it right.
