Another stock has its first coat

Post by trevort »

Geoff had plans to have this spray painted by a panel beater who backed out and he has been experimenting to find another finish he is happy with

I wager some of my american friend's hubs would love that colour scheme.

The colour is really clear and bright

Love the colours, love how they run along the bottom of the butt and hook down to the bottom of the pistol grip - reminds me of 70's era car pinstriping, like on a Datto rally car.

I'm gonna have to advertise the other half of the laminate panel. It was OK while it resided in Geoff's workshop but he gave it back on the weekend. Now its sitting in my gun room teasing me with what other rifle needs a red white and blue stock :shock: :shock: :shock: :roll:

Handle needs to be turned down a bit more to be able to use that one as a cricket bat. :P

Our flag may be red white and blue but our colours are green and gold.

I hate green and gold. Makes us look like rejects from the 70's.
