Hahaha for a little cheapie there was nothing wrong with it to start with. Hopefully i can get another 2-3 coats of oil on tonight and some more on saturday.

Put it all together late saturday...

Stain went on, kept the amount of stain on those areas to a minimum. 2 coats to the 4 on the rest of the stock. they...

Ah ok, how tight are we talking? When I strip down the tikka I usually give them quite a good bit of force.

When i dis-assembeled the norinco it was like 1/8 of a turn and they were loose enough...

Exactly how I got the smaller ones out. The iron and wet cloth did a magic job on most of it but the rest I just nailed with some heavy paper till they were gone

Yep walnut is the stain I selected when I ordered the kit. Will soon see how this comes out :)

Yep it may be a long way off but we all love a challenge haha.

The glass that came with it isnt very flash but i cant afford to upgrade it at the moment.

Thanks for the encouragement... will...

Wife to be has arrived home so that will have to wait for...

That pretty much confirms my thinking from some reading I did online, will chop to 16" plus the length of the supressor.

The 150m is wishful thinking then ... i have a bulk box of .22LR federal...

Greg.. all this help is very appreciated ....

Ill have more of a crack at it tonight, ran out of time lastnight as the wife was sick of sitting inside by herself while i mucked about in the shed...

Yep that black bit was plastic of some description, that is gone, 80% of it is now stripped with paint stripper and the varnish is pretty much gone.

Now I intend on giving the raw timber...
