couldnt get pics to work
Attachment 30279Attachment 30280here is before and after welll after and before--is pain in rear to do here
I gave up with pictures here.
they have too many options and steps you have to go thru, like a maze, especially for the electronically inept like myself, this site is good site but is complicated like my sat tv remote, my kids run that they aint interested in gun stuff so am on my own
As far as the stock refinish....
What did you use? You really brought out the stamps.
three 10 second applications of stripeze, never raised the wood grain, the real question I have now is whether get fixed the spot by recoil that has small chunk out before any linseed oil goes back on-not sure I left the stripeze on long enough to open wood grain up-
wtmr, nice job. That kind of work takes patience, thanks for sharing.....Frank
Pictures: you upload them to a free site like Photobucket. The picture should be about 700x700 maximum. That site will show several kinds of links for the picture - choose the [IMG] one to copy. Make your post and simply transfer the link to the post. Preview to make sure all is good.

Yep, it's pretty darn easy.
Reading how is sometimes confusing. But after you have done it a couple times it is a snap. The thumb nail way is a little longer.

I guess it does work but you have to remember to remove the HTTP that comes up in the box--first really dumb to have to remove something you never put there to make it work

Marcus,
That stock finally gets to take a deep breath.

I forgot to add, stock looked like crap, all the dings scratches and mars were to the finish of the polyurethane, only one penetration below slide area of stock was marred-I used only paper towel and tooth brush with the strip-eze, some say to use a scouring pad
Pretty swayback.
Guess in the long run it was good that poly was on it. Varnish sure took a beating but saved the walnut.
Should really be a nice looker now.
Congrats WTMR !
Charlie

best part was the stock was the only bad thing about the gun-was on GB
Wow, can't wait to see what it looks like after you get the BLO on it. It actually looks like it is in great condition. That little piece out isn't a problem. The shelf area of the recoil plate area looks like it has never been used.
Here's some pictures of a members SG Type II stock that I stripped, after strip revealed a few Irwin factory repairs. None were visable with the old finish on, even upon close inspection.
First 3 showing a original chipped out edge by the recoilplate that was re-attached.
Note the 3rd picture shows it split, but never broke completely off..

These 2 show small knot holes that were also Irwin factory puttied, first hole on the end of the barrel channel on the outside.

Same stock showing Wood Filler/Adhesive used to fill inside of knot holes, another Irwin factory repair,

Robert Irwin Dutchman style inlay patch over wood knot, near end of stock nose, most would be covered by barrel band. Never seen under original finish, even upon close inspection.

Now these guys were craftsman.
I recall Rick Borecky telling me that most stocks he works on are cracked/split or have been factory patched without the owners ever knowing. Some even having pins or dowels that weren't noticed before being refinished/repaired.
FWIW,

Charlie,
I'm not embarrassed, you can use my name, their mine. And they will look better when you are done with them.

That SG stock looks like it is new, the cartouche looks great, grain of the wood wonderful.
I bought an old 1800s five drawer dresser once that was covered with white paint. I stripped it off and underneath was almost perfect Walnut and birds eye maple. I believe that white paint was fashionable at some point and it sure saved that wonderful wood.
