PROGRESS WITH MY PROJECT

[millsy44 72]

The gun got the final sanding today after a cock up with the stain (basically i hated the colour) and had to re sand 2 coats of it off, after 2 hours sanding i was back to the original, trip to the local gun shop to pick up some Birchwood Casey Tru-oil, and i was ready to massage the first coat on.

Thats the stock all sanded and ready

 

 

And thats the stock after the first coat. Enjoying this project already

P.S does anybody know how i can get the pictures larger?? cant really see much when they are this size? thanks
