Bnz 4 Restoration project

Restoration project

I posted this a few years back but all the pictures were lost when Milsurps crashed. I came across the pictures in my files so I’m reposting them for history's sake. The stock was a $20 gun show purchase. Other than the obvious forearm amputation, it was in pretty good shape. I experimented with some stains until I got a pretty good match with the buttstock portion. The lower band is from an Israeli K98 and needs to be replaced.

Nice piece of work. Good restoration.

That came out real nice. I've been consider a similar repair on a (non-original) Krag stock. It's full-length rifle stock, but the fit at the lower band is sloppy, about 1/4" gap between the wood and lower band. I've been considering duffle-cutting and fixing. Right now a piece of felt as a shim makes it work.
