Outstanding! ## I followed this to the tee, other than starting with a 90 year old J.Stephens Arms model 38B 410 shotgun. Looks to be English Walnut and has prime grain for the most part. I inherited the gun as well as the Tru Oil from my Dad who was a gun smith. The furniture had deep hand oil stains on it. Once I got the dead brown layer off. Some of that remains, which I love as it shows the may hours of use from a pre war era game getter. Who knows how many tables bore meat from this ol girl. When starting out the bolt would not even move and the barrel bore was in bad shape as Dad had not been able to touch his guns for many years due to health. Having ran across this video while looking for tips to restore the weapon I found this marvelous tutorial. Thank you Stephen it's a jewel now. God Bless You!

Great work. I just finished a TX200 about a month and a half ago. Same technique as you. The only thing I did instead of using my fingers on the final coats I used a lint free scope cloth. Gave it a nice streak free high gloss finish. Of course after 12 or 11 coats. Pretty much a wall hanger now. I love true oil. It's just a lot of work. But that's most of the fun.👍✌🇺🇸
@noire10015 жыл бұрын
Yeah if you buy the stock finishing kit they supply a cloth thats very similar to a lens cloth. I also found that to be a better way than using a finger. I then used the included stock conditioner that is basically a very fine abrasive cream and took the shine off to give it a satin finish. really happy with the results and so much better than Danish oil imo.

About 50 years ago my mentor told me the truth about a stock makers art. Most sporting rifles/shotguns spend over 99% of their life hanging on a wall. The stock makers time, patience, and attention to detail will dictate which wall they hang on. The den over the fireplace, or the barn over the tool bench. Good job, your obvious attention to every detail makes this one a den hanger. Stock makers see more with their hands than they do with their eyes.

@neighborscomplaint5 жыл бұрын
great work! I learned this very same method from a master gunsmith. The only difference in technique was I was taught to apply the Tru-Oil with two fingers and to work it in with the heel of the hand which results in a more even coat requiring less sanding to level. You work the Tru-Oil in with the heel of your hand and move to the next area as soon as you feel the "drag" of the finish as it begins to thicken.Again, very nice work!

@Chuck_Carolina Жыл бұрын
Remington made some Marlin 336's with laminated stocks and a flat blued finish on the metal, but what really caught my eye was the fact there was no finish on the wood. I used boiled linseed oil on it - which takes much longer to dry between coats, but it turned out beautifully. Next time I might try Tru-Oil because it took about 60 days to get the finish I was after.
@chiya20065 ай бұрын
I believe Tru oil is made of linseed oil as well, but not in a pure form. Some thinners & varnishes are mixed with to dry faster.

To get a super high gloss finish rub the stock with Turtle Wax scratch and swirl remover. It is available at most big box stores and auto parts stores. An old fashon way of doing it is to rub the stock down with a water wet rag with Rottenstone. Use oil on the rag if you want a classy satin finish.

Well, I’ll just tell you about it for now. I know you live in NY, and maybe you have to shoot at a “shooting range” because of close neighbors or whatever. So this may not be for you, I don’t know. Let me tell you how I discovered this, it’s really no big deal. I basically live in the woods, and have a small piece of land. My closest neighbors are at least 150 yards away, and I have a large dog. I don’t let my dog wander onto other peoples property, and he is very good about knowing how far, and where he can go. My neighbors have some small dogs, and one of them is just viscous. It would sneak down here and attack my dog while he was outside doing his business on his own property. My large dog is timid when it comes to other dogs and wouldn’t fight back at all, and would only try to get away. After my dog was left with a couple scars, I said no more. I didn’t want to hurt the other dog, so I started thinking what I could do to keep it away. I had bought a crosman break barrel rifle because I have long thought I would like to get into airguns. Been a powder burner all my life. Long story short, I wanted this dog to know that I could reach out and touch him, but more importantly I wanted it to think I was trying to. I started looking for something to shoot at that would make a loud noise. So I’m looking under my kitchen cabinet and found my dear departed mother’s old aluminum pressure cooker. I took it and set it up on the hill where the dog comes down, and turned it on it’s side so that I can shoot into the mouth of it and hit the bottom. That’s when I discovered that not only does it make a huge satisfying popping sound, (like a .45 cal slug hit it) but that the aluminum takes all the energy out of the pellet and there is no ricochet. This was great because every time the little piece of excrement would come charging down the hill to attack my dog, I would start shooting into that pressure cooker. It would then run back up to the top of the hill and just stand there and watch my dog Mikey do his business. I then started to really enjoy shooting, and went to Goodwill, and found more old aluminum pressure cookers of all different sizes. I sat them out at different distances and put paper targets over the mouth. So that now I can target shoot, and judge velocity and impact by that wonderful noise. From the sound of it my neighbors probably thought that I was shooting a powder burner with a sophisticated silencer, because that’s what it sounds like. I bought more rifles and discovered Hatsan. They make the most powerful break barrel in the world. The .30 cal Carnivore, mod 135. One day my neighbor ventured to the top of the hill to look and see what the noise was. It just so happened that I had several guns layed out and a shooting table set up on my front deck, complete with spotting scope on a tripod. LOL, I heard the reaction as she turned back to tell the others what she saw. And from that day to this I have never seen that dog again, or any of their other dogs. Which is only right since I don’t let my dog wander onto their property. I think they built a pen to keep their dogs safe. Good! I have discovered a wonderful new sport, and no animals were hurt. :) I am definately coming over to PCP though, largely because of your great videos. I can’t wait! Of course I can shoot at just paper targets when I don’t want to make noise or disturb anybody, but the sound you get from one of those pressure cookers at 50 plus yards is truly unbelievable. A .22 caliber pellet sounds like a .45 or .50 cal slug hit it, and you can gage which rifle is hitting the hardest and fastest etc. And you can walk up and see all your smashed flat pellets on the ground 3 inches in front of the pot, with many of them never even making out of the pot. Don’t ever try this with a steel pot, because that pellet will come back up range almost as fast as it went down range, and could take an eye out or worse. I would post a few pics here if I could. Maybe you think this is silly, making all that noise, but that is how I got into airguns. And I truly believe that if all I were shooting were paper targets, I would have grown bored with it by now because without that noise, you don’t realize the power of the gun.
