Nice Hornet!

So.......Boyds is where the thumb hole stocks are coming from?

Yea,  that one looks like Birch stained in Walnut to my eye.  Better finish job than Handis factory..........but Birch rather than Walnut.

I scooped them right up and sent him the cash so fast it surprised him!!!  he shipped them Monday and lo and BEHOLD, THEY ARRIVED HERE TODAY!!

I decided to put them on my rim fire receiver.





I also moved the 243 thumb holes on to the HORNET and put the factory cinn lambs on the 243.

  Those thumbhole lams sure look nice..but if I am reading it right..noone is yet offering such a thing for our NEFs as a regular product line...

  OK, who's going to start... Boyd's... Richard's  ...?

Boyd's is making those stocks for H&R, there was a dealer on Ebay selling them, that's where most everyone got theirs, I did buy a 243 Ultra t-hole that is a factory offering, it's not on their web page tho, they're also available on the USHs.

Well, here goes. . . . .

My .308 Win Ultra:


My .17HMR "Ultra Varmint Wannabe" (really a prettied up Sportster):


My .243 Handi:


And my NWTF TDC:


TDC's "first blood":



Edit:   I can't believe I forgot one!!   Although, in my defense, it's not mine.....it belongs to my 3 year old daughter.  It is a Pardner 20 ga. 3" with NWTF Camo Lams.

J. Plate: 

Very nice collection.  All are sweet.  I especially like the prettied up .17 and the TDC.   

Kudos's to everyone who has posted here.  Not a bad one in the bunch.  I often use the examples pictured here for inspiration.

I'll contribute a few photo's soon.    :)

Thanks again to all

That TDC is one of my favorites.   It is one of 2500 in a special run for NWTF Banquets for 2007 and sports a 30" barrel.   Throws one heck of a turkey pattern at 40 yards, too!!

Fred,

I got a question for you.... What do you do to get your stocks so shiny and smooth looking? I am hopefully getting a new stock tonight and of course I will have to finish it and I was just looking for some advice from someone who has done it before. Thanks!

Start with sanding the stock smooth, without rounding any edges. Brush or blow
off the dust and wet the stock to raise the grain. Let dry well and sand the wiskers off with a sharp new piece of 400 paper.

Wet the stock again and do the same thing let dry and sand. Blow off all sanding dust. Get a role of 3/4" scotch tape and wrap it around your four finger with the
sticky side out. Wrap until you have a sticky sleeve abvout 2" wide and go over the whole stock with the sticky sticky side.

This will remove any embedded dust particles. You are now ready to apply
Birchwood Casey True oil with a bit of turpentine added to slightly thin it down for the first and second coat.

Each coat is sanded down to the wood and the dust removed with the tacky scotch tape. Use the oil sparingly with no visible build up. Do this until all pores are filled
and the grain starts to look good. The number of coats depends on the wood.

Apply the finish with a lint free cloth made into a ball, apply the oil to the cloth ball
and rub in on the stock with out build up. Let each coat dry good.You will know
when the stock is finished,always sand in between coats and use the tacky tape
after before a new coat goes on.  Ten thin coats should do it.

This will make a finish that is in the wood and is easy to touch up when damaged.

You can do the same with Linspeed oil.

Krod,
It's made by Krylon and in spray cans. You should be able to get it at you local Wally World, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. Put on a base color coat, then spray on the web. Not hard at all.
