Norinco plastic stock - Anyone refinishing?

[xBrokenswordx]

The stock on my shorty could use some work. I thought about ordering a new stock, but from what I understand it would need work in order to fit my Norinco reciever. Thought I'd try refinishing mine first since my only real issue is the finish. Anyone else sanding/ repainting the plastic stock?

I've done a couple of them. I just sanded down any of the rough seams, then shot them with krylon. It sticks really well to them and has held up really well. I wiped down the whole stock with a grease/oil remover before painting it.

I did a real nice Krylon camo job on mine-email me at herrluem@shaw.ca for pics of it-don't know why I can't post on CGN...

Same here. Do the sharp edges with a file or a piece of sandpaper on a block of wood. Use sponge type sanding block to scuff and some Brake-Kleen to clean any residue before painting. The smoother and cleaner you can make it, the better it will turn out. Remove all metal bits and hang it with a piece of wire. Then just shoot with about 3 or 4 light, even coats of Krylon

Awesome! I'm going to paint mine od green. This will be my weekend project, I'll post pics of the finished product!

If you rush it and put your coats too thick or don't wait long enough between coats, you will get drips. I learned the hard way. Also, keep cats away from wet paint unless you like your cats OD green lol

I tried... they won't do it. Order directly from Boyds Gun Stocks, they can / will help you keep your order under $ 100. Hope this helps the addiction.

I'd much rather have a USGI wood stock but they seem so few and far between!
