MM Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Ok, so i went to Macavoys in wigan yesterday to have a look at a Ruger 10/22. Changed my mind when i saw another semi. Tim (the guy in there) test fired it for me, and it was jamming. Looked up and saw a CZ BRNO 16' that took my fancy. Only problem was that the stock was a dog. Once i tried the action, i knew i wanted it, so i gave him £200 for the gun, a mod and a massive Edgar brothers scope that lets me see over to france. So, i set about the stock earlier. As you can see, it was full of dings, scratches and even some burn marks (ive no idea). and stripped it looked like this. then a couple of coats of oil and then re-assembled. feels like a good gun, cant wait to try it. Only one problem!! the guy in the shop forgot to give me the magazine!!! phone call tomorrow!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smig4373 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Good effort Martin....Whats happening with the marker pen checkering on the fore-end??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Good effort Martin....Whats happening with the marker pen checkering on the fore-end??? Well, it was like that when i found it as basic as it looks, it seems ok. I thought it must have been a home job, but then why would they not sell a checquered forend stock? Cant see them selling it blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 looking good but i think id of sanded out the home made checkering ive seen a few cz brno without cheqering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Did you rub the stock down much? One gem of advice I was given was to always leave the plastic butt-plate screwed in throughout the finishing process, apparently if you're unlucky the wood can become rounded off very slightly at the butt which will show up as the wood will no longer be flush to the plate. When I did my Beretta I left mine in place taped up, there were a few light scratches left on the plastic but they polished out with some 1200 wet & dry. Good job on that stock, looks 10x better. EDIT: If you do another plank, I can't recommend Trade Secrets oil finish products enough. Top notch stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
