Beautiful rifle, probably kicks like heck with nothing but a synthetic stock on it, but beautiful rifle nonetheless.

Is that a wood stock that's been painted or a synthetic stock? Where are you located?

Tom: It's a factory wooden stock. I prepped the wood, and coated it with Duplicolor brand bedliner type finish. It's indistinguishable from a synthetic, and tough as a tank. The finish is textured, but not excessively rough. It's more of a soft texture.

Before refinishing the stock, I tested a piece of scrap wood. After it dried, I couldn't scrape it off with a screwdriver. It's probably the toughest and nicest looking finish that I have found for armoring a gunstock.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

The paint on that gun was it sprayed brushed or rolled on. How much is it a can. And would it work on a synthetic stock.

Duplicolor black spray bedliner. Available at Walmart automotive section. Be sure and carefully prep the wood before applying. 80 grit to remove the clear coat. Use a stainless wire brush in the checkering, NOT the sandpaper.

Spray 8 coats, 10 minutes apart, with the nozzle 6 inches from the wood. The last two coats should be sprayed from about 12 inches away, to get a consistent texture. Just remember, this stuff dries fast, and the only way you will ever get it off is with a grinder. It's tough and VERY PERMANENT!

I would highly suggest that you experiment with a piece of scrap lumber before you apply to a gunstock. Yes, it works extremely well on properly prepped fiberglass stocks. I have no idea if it will adhere properly to a plastic stock.
