Hi guys,

The red stain on this rifle's stock turned to red goo in the rain; anyone else having this issue? How do I fix it?

BTW, despite the s***** finish, it shoots amazingly well!!!

Thanks,

Mark
 
If the stain has gone soft and gooey in the rain you could try letting it air dry. But it sounds like it’s not the most durable and CZ made a poor choice. You could apply a polyurethane clear coat overtop to seal and protect it from the rain or strip it and refinish.

Their original finish looks like sprayed lacquer but obviously not; likely a water born acrylic of dubious quality.
I have contacted the warranty center; I am not looking for a new stock; just advice. I'm sure that I'm not the only one to have had this experience; I am hoping that they have a work-around that is not to involved or painful. That being said, I am ready to strip and start over with a real stain and an oil finish if worse comes to worse.

BTW, I really like the finish... when it is dry!

Mine comes off in the rain too but it doesn’t seem to have faded.

So, I am not alone! The smooth parts of the stock did not fade, but the etched part of the pistol grip has somewhat. I am wondering if they finish the whole stock, then etch the detail in, then treat it with a desperate process? That might explain what is happening.

Anyway, I am waiting to hear from the warranty center to see if they have a solution.

I know I could seal it with something, but if that is incompatible with the existing finish, I could end up with a real mess too.

Here's the reply I posted to the same question in the other forum; which speaks to my frame of mind at that moment as well:
"I guess I should have taken pictures and got the s*** all over my phone while I photographed the half roll of now orange paper towels I threw out, and the fact that my clothing is now pre-soaking; and I had to put bleach in the water to get the dark mahogany colour out of the palms of my hands, and tried not to get it all over the inside of my vehicle and the gun-case?"

BTW, I had stain on my face and my almost brand new Tilley hat as well.
 
Wolverine Supplies is the CZ warranty center for all legitimate CZ imports in Canada. I understand that the CZ 455 was a special edition only available to North Sylva, and as such Wolverine covers the warranty. We do not have time to follow all the forums and monitor possible issues and customer concerns.

Please contact us (Wolverine Supplies) directly with any warranty concerns. We have a warranty claim form on our web site for your convenience.

We have not run across this issue before so I can shed no further light on it at his time. I understand you have already contacted us so we will be looking into this and will be in touch.

Yeah, totally, don't you know once you post on forums on issues everyone wants to judge for themselves? [totally sarcasm]
