Stock Filler?

[Jamieb]

Well. since I got this rifle for about $26 I'm looking it as a practice project.  Mauser 98 Big ring in .270.  I went with a solvent based int/ext wood filler. Filled the channel up, taped an pressed the barrel into it.  I'll let it sit till sometime this weekend and do some sanding.

The stock has a nice blonde color to it after sanding so I don't know if I'll use a light stain or linseed oil.

Practice for what?
Theres products out there that are made for use in stocks. Rifle stocks take a hell of a beating during recoil.

Since the stock is butchered up anyhow, it sounds like a good learning tool to find out what works and what doesn't.  By that time it might be time for a new stock.

oh maybe..    Actually it's coming along pretty nice. Just a few more rounds of filler/sanding to make a nice uniform line between barrel and stock. And I'd say that's about 80-90% done.  Wish I'd taken some "before" pics...
