Missed ,that forend looks heaps better in my opinion than it did originally,I like the overall look of it,.................I better get you to put a scratch on it before its sent back to me cause then I don't have to worry about its first scratch.
What style and colour of pad do you think would suit it?.

You use the force!

Looks good mate, great job!

Chris Tynne owns the stock mate I have no idea who hacked it out.

For the oil I use that would be like asking Col Sanders for the secret 11 herbs and spices











PS ask your brother :wink: he knows

Well I left the lid of the secret Oil recipe jar :evil: so that meant I had to go down to the high st and order some more ingredients :roll: well after waitng 10 days I got the call that the oil had turned up,Beauty I thought I duly dropped the chillin of at school and headed over.The Useless Tw@#s had got the wrong bloody oil :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :evil: :x Then they said I had to PAY for it that it was a special order.Here was where luck stepped in, I have an L579 stock here that I had stripped back and steamed ready for its massaging, Well I ran into the owner of the Sako as I walked through the car park.I told him my tale of woe and how his rifle was going to take a bit longer because the Hardware had told me they were not ordering anymore until after TEOFY.Mickey told me he had some different types of wood finish oils in his shed that his partner had had when she moved in.In the list was the exact oil I was after 8) :D a pick up was made and I raced home to blend my mixture and get to work.Not long now about 10 coats I will fit up the Butt pad and post it back up to the sunny Mid North Coast.

Had a look at this stock on Friday as I raced through on the way home.

It was looking good at the time. Andrew has put a lot of hours into it.

Andrew, that specimen bottle is full of the stuff you wanted and I'll keep it in the car for the next few days. :wink:
