What did you finish it with?
Hi Macca - Boiled Linseed oil.
Here's some slightly better pics...but I'm strugling with the light to get a good photo. It's finished to 1200grit and has an almost mirror finish but I can't capture it with my shitty camera.

Just gotta fit the but pad to finish, but thats no biggie. I may purchase another suppressor as the one I have is a bit on the heavy side, and soon as this rifle is only a shade over 5lb it would be a shame to weigh it down with a heavy suppressor.

It looks really good. Gonna get a black butt pad?
Yeah, I've got a Pachmyer one ready to go on it. Will only take a few minutes to fit...then fun times will be using it psssssh - thud!!!! Its the same rifle as in this vid, but with a make over.

Try these ones - pics taken outside ''in order to shed some more light on the subject'' as my old man would say.

The LOP proportions always look a little out on my rifles as I'm over 6' 4'' tall and need the longer LOP to shoot right, but other than that I quite like this little rifle and can see it getting used quite a bit for buh hunting with sub-sonic loads over my dog/s.

Do you have small hands? it looks small at the fore end but still nice, lovely wood
That's a damn fine job kimjon.
TJ did some fine work for me on a Winchester stock, just thought I'd mention it if you'd like some checkering.
Was gonna say that too. Some checkering would just finish it off beautifully.
i got here late but WOW! nice work.
what sort of wood is that KJ?
It was walnut, we'll seasoned. Its been tidied up a lot since those pics were taken and a suppressor was added too...it looks way better now with shorter LOP and TJ fitted a recoil pad for me just to finish it off.

Gonna checker it?
thats awesome there are some crafty buggers on here :thumbsup:
