    The 98k sporter reworked

    Greetings All,

    Well, I have to say thanks to all that offered their help from my earlier post. Robert thanks for the stock. I found an eagle and swastika above an H over the bolt disc. The stock had very crisp marks on the inside and was dated 43 (same as the rifle ).

    Now here is what I did:

    (The stock was a red glue laminated one that was Russian Capture.)

    I took easy off (yes I know a big no-no) and sprayed the stock.
    Let it sit for 5 minutes.
    Rubbed the living crap out of it.
    Sprayed with water.
    Towel dried and wipped again.
    Allowed to dry for 1 week.
    Lightly sanded (several gouges and dings removed and this is when I found the eagle and swastika).
    Applied very light cherry stain (which made the glue really show great).
    After another week of dry time I applied a coat of tongue oil.

    The stock looks great and a local gunshop owner offered me 2x what I payed for it. I know that the method I used may not be the recomended proceedure but it worked nice for me. I will be posting pics hopefully this weekend. I know it doesn't look like a museum piece, but it's not one. I have replaced all the sporter ad ons. Still need a complete rear sight assembly to complete the project.

    Thanks to All,
    Christopher

    PS: Robert, I traded the sporter parts for the rest of my parts needed, plus some cash to boot! Thanks a ton!

      Ps

      Forgot to put this in the edit.

      When I took it to the local shop all together, it was the talk of the shop. A fellow offered me nearly 3x what I have in her! Everyone thought the stock looked great and more like an original that had not been messed with. Several asked if I would redo their RC stocks for them. Let me know what you all think.

      Thanks,
      Christopher
