  1. I’ve just been watching a video on YouTube whos channel is shootingatdawn and he used bleach to extract all the old stain etc from the wood grain so it left the stock completely bare so I may give this a go?

    Whats your intention with the beech stock .? 

    Repaint .oil .stain and oil .satin and lacquer . Or just lacquer ? 

    Id recomend repaint .its easier and will give the nicest finish 

    In which case you dont need to clean out the stippling .

    I want it all back to original so I want to get it done somewhere properly

    Paint stripper and a toothbrush on the checkering 👍

    Great I have plenty of that at work 👍🏻. I didn’t know if doing that would damage the wood? 

  4. I went and picked it up this morning and already sanded down all the paint off the stock apart from in the grip parts which I’m not sure what to do with yet but it’s getting there! Before and after picture

  5. Cheers everyone for the replies. The condition of it is not for the best as the guy who owned it spray painting camo all over the stock and barrel using an aerosol can so it’s all peeling off etc. Any recommendations on places to take it for a service and to get the barrel re blued and the stock stripped and re varnished? In Leicester. Cheers 

  6. Hi,

    So I am new to the air rifle life and I have been offered an Air Arms TX200SR .22. I was just wondering on prices etc of this air rifle and is it rare? 
     

    Cheers Louis.
