New gun ruined, well....devalued a tad.

I can see you're proud of the wingmaster, but it's a field gun, what if you get it re-finished and drop it again ? Or bang it on a hide pole, scratch it on a wire fence etc.

 

Perhaps a DIY fix with the coloured wax used for furniture would do the trick and spend the money on shells or chokes.

Just suggesting an alternative.

I can see your point sir. Yeh it's a field gun, and I know it's gonna pick up some dings here and there............over time. I was just gutted to have done it in such a dumb *** way. Not so bad if I'd just pulled off a lovely left and right Woodcock, then dropped it whilst celebrating.............but no, I just plain fumbled it whilst falling over in a quagmire!!!! :no::lol::lol: .

 

At least it got me to finally have a look at this Photobucket thingy. On that note, when I looked in on PW this morning, all the pics had vanished !!!! I'd moved them into an album so the link had changed. Lesson learned: Put them in the album then do the linking. :good:

Could you please post the pictures again, as have you have said, they are not there.

Would love a look at the gouges, :-), gets me all excited, to imagine what they will look like afterwards..

Not "touting" just love to see a challenge.

Ok, I have struggled with PhotoBucket a little. I hope I have sorted the problem out now. The pics do seem to have reappeared now mate.

Your dents looks very similar to what I had on one of my guns, the damage went through the lacquer and slightly dented the wood.

It's quite a simple fix but it won't be as perfect if a stocker fixed it. All I had was 4 items to work with .

Very fine sand paper

Touch up lacquer from a car body repair shop

Brown coloured pencil

T-Cut

Sand back the damaged area then lightly use the coloured pencil to fill in any exposed wood, use the lacquer and build up the varnished look again make sure the lacquer sits proud then sand it back till it's level. You'll probably notice small marks caused by using the sand paper that's where the T-Cut comes in to remove any scratches :)

Job done , your going to get dings and scratches on your gun in the future anyway a bit like war wounds. Give it a ago :)
