Thought for a second you were going to leave that ugly light blue colour

Metallic Kermit! i like it!

Quite happy with the green- did my other stock the same pattern the other week and it looks good. I put alot more prep into this stock though- all that light blue is spray putty. Did heaps of coats of it, wet sanding in between to get it smooth. Tomorrow the stock will get a couple of coats of clear, then a black spotty "overspray" pattern, and a few more coats of clear before curing for a few days, having the action bedded, then curing for a fortnight while Im away on holidays.

G'day All,
Looking great Brad.
I hope you've allowed for paint thickness on the forend. I've seen several superbly painted SR BR rifles attacked with a rasp to get under 3" wideth.
Also I have a photo of a very well known gunsmith using my bow saw sawing off the butt end of his stock to reduce weight in a BR match......twice, didn't take enough off the first time!
Cheerio Ned

Gday Ned

Yes the wood was machined so I can make width regulations. If not, I will sand and paint it again which Ive done before!

[Brad Y]

Righto all done and dusted. Now its just time to dry out. Its been outside in the sun and breeze all day and looking good. Fumes are dissapearing rapidly which is good.

almost the same colour as my ol dads st1100 [thats a motorbike for you who dont know]

nice job brad.

Bedding went well,aside from a couple of spots where it lifted some paint on the edge of the stock around the action. Will have to bog, sand and re spray a couple of tiny spots. Now theres 3 barrels to be chambered and the ever fun WA licensing system to negotiate. Since I had a spare 6mm barrel Ive also asked for a 6BR barrel to be chambered as well. So there will be 2 barrels for 284 shehane and one for 6BR. Aquired some polished BAT scope rings for the nightforce 15-55 competition scope and its just about all set. Should be shooting it after I return from Thailand and Singapore in a fortnight.
