Project Information
I bought an old (1952) Remington Gamemaster pump action 30.06 at a pawn shop last year. The stock was very beat up so I thought what the heck, I'll just make a new one. I had no idea what I had tackled. I found a 3" thick chunk of walnut at a farm auction ($5) and started as if I had a clue. After untold hours of grinding, filing, shaving and sanding, it finally took shape. I wanted a little contrast so i used zebrawood on the pistol grip and the tip of the forearm. After whiskering to 400 grit, I made a paste of Permalyn, rottenstone and sanding dust to fill the grain and then put a million coats of 1/3 Permalyn, 1/3 pure tung oil and 1/3 MS for the finish. Months later, here it is. Whew! Comments and critiques welcome, Thanks for looking
