Ultrastu Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Well for such a small mark I would get a used tea bag and rub it into the mark to stain the beech brown .keep applying if it's not dark enough at first .the stain will lighten as it dries .ignor the dried colour. The finished colour will be same as when its very wet. . When your satisfied. And the stain has been left to dry. Rub a bit of oil into the scratch. (This will bring back the colour and it will stay this shade .even when the oil has dried). U can use any oil you find . Cooking oil will do .But a gun oil that hardens will be better obviously. Don't use a water based lacquer .as your tea bag stain is water based and will wash out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.C Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Danish oil is pretty good stuff, use it to protect against rot caused by water. Apply it after staining and follow instructions on tin. Should come up a very similar finish to rest of stock judging by the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 One reason I like tactical stocks. I would also sress over every micro scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
