I've Been Inspired To Do My Tx Stock.

[Jonjon79 13,358]

After reading a few stock threads on here, I finally decided to crack on with my TX stock

 

I had a .177 TX in beech last year but, this is the one that I really wanted - a .22 with a walnut stock that I'm very happy with.

 

I started putting English Walnut Oil on it a week ago. The instructions say to use a little each time and rub it in with your hands. It's had 6 coats like this. It's also had a good buff with a clean rag.

 

The result is a slightly darker stock with a satin sheen.

 

I'm very pleased with it.

And now it's too nice to take out in case it get scratched ...................................................

Seriously though that is a bloody nice bit of timber.

 

I have been experimenting with Danish oil just lately and it really does seem to cure better than most other oils and leaves a deep finish.

Cheers Mark.

 

It's got a Rowan trigger guard, adjustable trigger and adjustable butt plate.

[Jonjon79 13,358]

Thanks for the kind comments.

 

I do think I was quite lucky to get a stock with a nice looking grain.

 

I've also done a little work on the inside - a good clean, degrease and a short stroke. The firing cycle is pretty short and sweet. It feels a little low on power at the moment.

I'll have a look at it over the Combro and adjust it as needed.

 

I'm looking forward to getting it out and getting it's first rabbit. I think it'll do well now the mornings are getting lighter.

It was a lot less involved than the work you've been doing lately but, it was nice to do.

I do like Danish oil. I used it on a black, blue & grey laminate stock that I made.

 

It made the colours pop out well and the finish felt hard wearing.

YUMMY!!! What a difference pal. It looked nice before but the grain is more in your face now.

Now you can join the "I'm shit scared to use my air rifle club".

Well done mate it looks lovely???
