    Stock finish repair_gunsmithing

    Thank you very much for the kind lines and encouragement. I am trying to shed my OCD nature and be happy with how the gun looks. It is 100% functional. It is just not as good looking as I hoped it was going to be. But, I think it is time to cut my losses and, as you said, get out, shot it and...

    Stock finish repair_gunsmithing

    Thank you all for the help. Perhaps I should have made a more determined effect, but I eventually decided I will try to be happy with good enough. Previously, I tried to make 'good' 'better' and ended up with some seriously botched work, so again I decided I will go with "good enough". Thus I...

    Stock finish repair_gunsmithing

    So, I am not a gunsmith and at best an amateur handyman (as it will be obvious very shortly). I have a sako greywolf stock which came with sling studs I wanted to replace with flush cups and also wanted to install a spartan gunsmith adapter. I have done the work yesterday using appropriately...

    German Claw Mounts

    I have had several rifles with these mounts (shut) in Europe. They are usually fitted by gunsmiths. The more modern ones have rings around the objective bell and main tube of the scope and those attach to the receptacles on the receiver/barrel. Or you can try something like this, and combine it...
