Salvaging a solid, but really poorly done stock
« on: September 27, 2025, 10:40:30 AM »
I’ve been posting quite a bit on this project.  There are a lot of photos and I’m trying to describe what my thoughts are and basically stepping through why, what I’m doing, how I do it and what tools I’m using.  Feel free to ask any questions or ask me to expand on anything. 

https://www.rimfirecentral.com/threads/stevens-44-1-2-target-rifle.1336049/

I’m a bit further along than in the second photo.  The basic pattern would not be my first choice, but ya gots what ya gots to work with. 

I will take this all the way through the finishing process.  The finish on it is really bad, it’s never going to be on the cover of Guns Illustrated, but it’s going to finish up nicely. 

It will be a really good subject for illustrating how there is hope for almost any solid stock, no matter how ugly it looks.
