I've been checking Hermes tracking all bloody morning - it said that Cols FN12 was delivered but, your 77 is still showing as being at the local depot - I should have just looked in here :yes: :laugh:

 ...... I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out :yes:

Well I hope this is the true birth and start of the "Classic Section".

                        Good luck with her Jimmy, I`ve a feeling you really will make this one a bit special.

No mate, I`m not holding my breath :laugh:.

               I`ve just lost out on a HW80

               It was a mk1, pristine condition and .177, he decided to keep it longer and I nearly got it for £200, - his asking price.

 

                Ah well.

                I`m pleasantly searching for old HW`s 35 E, 77`s and the superb mk1

 

                                                80`s

That is looking good mate :good:

...... I've got a TX cocking handle here somewhere - I never even thought about putting it on there.

 

Any idea what you'll finish the stock with yet?

Its going walnut that much i do know jon

but im thinking of making some nice Tiger stripes on her as well

or i may follow the pattern of the grain in the butt end of the stock

all the way through the for end if i can do it

then it will be finished with tru oil about ten or 15 coats

First two light coats of walnut stain

on her Jon

You know what she has some nice grain in her i may leave it the way it is

and keep her a classic with a touch of new .

plus she has some lovely gold fleck in the stock to.

........ It's sometimes hard to see all that nice grain with that lacquer that the manufacturers bung on there.

 

And, you know I like that wood and silver look :yes: :thumbs:

This is only after two light coats of stain

if you wet the stock after the stain has dry,d you can see what she will look like once the oil is on

whats your thoughts lads leave as is or darker
