Ok, this might sound a tad wierd, but I pretty much hate wood stocked rifles (personal preference, here, not starting a flame war), in that case my Nork M14S.

Since it may take a few months before we get those nice JAE-100 Stocks in Kanadha, I was planning to take my current Chu-Wood stock and spray it with bed liner spray to at least make it look like a synthetic one.

I know some people did apply this stuff on fibreglass stocks with pretty good results, butI was wondering if someone already attempted the same on wood stocks and if they had any reccomendations for the process (i.e. would it require sanding, stripping the 'finish', washing, etc)?

Thanks
 
Works fine. Strip it using furniture stripper, then lightly sand it.
Once you have it prepared then I stain the stock black so that any small dings wont show. When the stain has dryes spray with about 3 light coats allowing at least 24 hours to dry in between.
 
I have done it with mixed results. On a synthetic stock it worked very well, but on wood, I have had problems with it rubbing off. It did not peel, rather got soft and messy and adhered poorly. It could be that the surface under it was not clean enough and still had some oils, or possibly heat from the barrel softened it, but I suspect the former. Make sure the wood is very clean, dry as a bone, and lightly roughened up with sandpaper.
 
i used it on the wood of my enfield sporter before camo and worked fine but IIRC Ardent on here has some USGI synthetic stocks available as well as there are a few in the EE
 
I did my Norinco SKS and it came out great. It's never chipped or scratched off in two years.

I stripped and sanded the crappy varnish off first, there was no oil in the stock whe I applied the bedliner.
 
Speaking from experience, make SURE all the oil is out of it or the liner won't stick to it. I had to pick up a new stock because of this. The good news was when I went to try and strip the liner off that had adhered, it did not come off easily at all.
 
Dishwasher will get ALL the oil/crap out of the stock. Just run a full cycle with soap (no dishes!) and it gets super clean.

Also, make sure you use a good primer before the bed liner goes on.

It will work, but 3 light coats works MUCH better than one thick one.
 
I've got a Winchester model 70 extreme weather with the composite stock. The factory paint has rubbed off in a few places from being in my gun rack on my quad. Was thinking the bedliner would work best for it as I know any regular paint would just wear ff again. So the 2 part is way better than the spray on? How is the finish with the roll on stuff?
