kdubya Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 what action is it inletted for? and what % inletted was it listed as. hope it turns out lovely its for my marlin 917vs I went for a straight line thumbhole ( see ther web site) the stock is supposed to be 95% finished and in truth thats probably about right, BUT the last 5% is a LOT of work mainly on the trigger inlet, the barrel grove, and of course the forend and butt need cutting and shaping, fortunately the wood is relatively soft and is very workable, I reckon I should have the stock fitted well by this evening, and then I can start the finishing off, I will post a pic or two when complete. cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 take your time over it. Mine took 2 days for all the rough finishing down (it was 99% inletted so only needed to open the barrel up) however now its all finished and i look at it i can see every little tiny imperfection in it. Take your time it will be worth it in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Well here's a pic of the stock, barrel and trigger unit are fitted spot on, waiting now for some gear to come from the states so I can bed it in, I am very, very happy with the finish , although the colour IS a bit dubious,up to now the stock has had five coats of true oil, and will now be left for a couple of weeks ( off to get some late sun?) then I will use a satin stock oil to dull it down a little and that shoul be it? cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 That looks the dogs KW well done Bit whacky, but that is obviously what you went for, the finish looks 'excellent dude' (Bill and Ted) Speak to Crieffy about applying the matt finish, I think you put the tru oil on with 0000 wire wool, but better get it right from him.
