Clemson Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Laminates are one place where I really like polyurethane finishes. The Minwax Wiping Poly is excellent for these stocks. Clemson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Ahoyza (7x57 '95 Chilean, boyds laminate unfinished, cheap tasco scope) That will be nice stock when done. Got a question? Were the recoil lugs in it when you bought it, or did you put them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahoyza Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Mauserman69, It has the lug it came with which is machined right with the front action screw. Clemson, why do you prefer poly for laminates? I'm just starting standing, I still have time to decide what to use, I actually have a bottle of each on hand. My garage stays in the 50's until May, someone said that may be too cold, but it is dry. I'll take any hints I can get on finishing. Thanks Guys -Ahoyza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemson Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I like oil for walnut stocks, but with laminates the resin that bonds the layers seems seems to resist the oil. The polyurethanes coat the surface evenly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I like the way you did the bolt handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahoyza Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Stock is off and sanding is underway. Yes, I'm going to use poly, satin finish. I can't take the credit for the bolt handle, I bought it that way decades ago. For a bubba-ized mauser, the bolt was the best part! The laminate seems easy, almost too easy to sand.

ahoyza Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm now in the wet sanding stage, and boy oh boy is it shaping up nice! Clemson, thanks for the tip the polyU is great! I will post pics when I reassemble. My goal is to get it huntable for a trip to NY for whitetail this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
