Two sporterized stocks back in full trim

**WarPig1976** · 02-09-2018 01:33 PM

First up is a GEW88. This is a beech stock that was cut about 2' forward of the band. I cut it back and treated it like a duffle cut. The owner was able to source a Walnut donor for the forestock. The numbers matching half was covered in Bubba goo so that came off too. Thanks Greg.

The second is a M1917. The joint is where the stock finally ran straight from being rounded. This stock required extensive wood working to make perfect. If not for the grain and the seem no one would ever know these where two separate stocks.
Thanks Mike.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I picked up a Mosin 1891 barreled action. I was looking for a stock but I think I may have better success with your method.
Thanks 7 nice work.

Bubba Goo! very good WP

Here is a photo of the rifle reassembled.

Its a shame someone cut the fore-end off a matching 1917 Schilling, but Warpig's awesome work stripping the goo, splicing and staining has allowed this rifle to look respectable once again.

Nice looking rifle, have we seen a detailed expose of this one? Would be a crowd pleaser for sure...
