Stock Modification
« on: April 12, 2007, 01:22:46 PM »
This is a Montecarlo "pallet wood" stock I reshaped and refinished. I needed the high comb for shooting with a scope (no old eyes aren't up to iron sights anymore) and I like the look and feel of a straight stock. It came out looking about like a Henry rifle stock, which isn't a bad thing. The Bushnell Trophy 6x18x40 scope looks too big for the rifle but I need the magnification to see .223 holes in paper at 100 yds.

I used Min Wax Prestain. Someone on this forum suggested it and it helped a lot. That a touching up light areas with a stain soaked Q-Tip worked pretty good.

Ha, the Henry 22 mag was the first thought in my mind when I saw it.  Looks nice.  Did you cut the pistol grip off?

I used three or four coats of TruOi for the finish. Steel wool between each coat.
