Okay, it's not too bad, i'm happy with it, but i doubt many people would share the same opinion on it's appearance :redface: haha... Ah well, it's just a junky yugo stock that's cracked in a couple places anyways, I can probably get a nice german one from marstar (i hope).

Well, long story short, i didnt have any steel wool, so i used a brass wire wheel attached to a drill (don't try this, unless you are intentionally going for that rough beachwood look lol). Then i finished it up with two light coats of wood stain (sedona red 222).

It appears to change colors as i move it in the light, most likely due to its rough exterior, that vaguely resembles the wrinkles on a walnut (except going with the grain).

btw, I'm curious... anyone interested in mg42 receiver stampings? They would be expensive for sure, but could be used to make a wicked 1:1 scale clone or perhaps used to mock up a 10/22 :cool:. Not regulated by CFC, already checked it out with them via fax :). Umm, if so send me a pm, lets keep this thread about the stock massacre!




edit: yeah this thing is an abomination, i gotta sand it smooth and re-finish it... I'll go out and buy the necessary materials when i need this thing, for now it can sit in a box in my closet.

:puke:

Dude, steel wool is not expensive, and Home Despot has it.
 
I'll be honest, I think it looks awful, but I'm glad you like it :)

you can get steel wool at like, a dollar store.
 
When you put the wire wheel in the chuck of your drill; did you not hear a little voice coming from that stock saying: " No man, stop WTF are you gonna do with that?!?" :eek:..........:p
 
Its Ok..Its OK

It's OK...It's OK....just a little scratch...It'll BUFF out!! LOL

what a laugh

:rockOn:
Thats hilarious. in a road kill sort of way. At what point did that little voice say that maybe this was the wrong approach. next time practice on a 2x4 first. good luck and stay away from the power tools.:bangHead:
 
Might want to take a few steps beck with that camera as well, or turn on macro focus. Unless it's so bad that the camera refuses to take a clear picture on principle?
