swamp_thing Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 This is probably a bit out of place, but here is a model 94 winchester post 64 that I got awhile back. The stock set was about completely worthless and the barrel was junk. I got a new barrel and magazine tube set from gunparts for a ted williams model real cheap. I also had a nice piece of maple that had been drying for about a year. Rebarreled it and made the maple stock, which I finished with tung oil only for the natural maple color. The two piece stocks are not too hard to make from scratch, but I have not attempted to do so with a one piece stock so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzRednek Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Beautiful rifle!! I know from first hand experience it is hard to get a decent picure of light maple. I helped a friend a few months ago try and get a picture of an antique tea cart he put on Ebay. If you happen to have it out again try a picture in natural sunlight, preferably on an overcast day. Building that stock from scratch really makes a statement of your skills, something to be really proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp_thing Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Thanks fella's for the responses on this one. Makes my day that others appreciate the efforts put in on a project like this. It is hard to get a good picture of the maple like that and I will try to get more later following your suggestions. I just wanted to say thanks again for the comments. swamp thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
