Let’s see some pictures!!!
The camo coats wore off but I carry my gun a bit funny so hands contact the barrel a fair bit,the black etch primer has held up,will post a photo tomorrow.camo coats were a product called rustoleum .
Wouldn’t leave it just as primer,might need a clear coat over the top ,found my paint job on the sako rubbed off at the carry spots,oils from your hands affect the primer.I used a black etch primer...
Nice work.
Are they for. Sling swivels?

All done and still shoot pretty good.
Reshaped the forearm and around the pistol grip to fit my hand better 'got rid of the barrel band and it shots better,bedded the first...
Went with natural finish with tru oil instead,couldn’t be arsed with darker stain in the end too much hassle to get any with the lockdown.2coats tru oil so far.137373
I have some tru oil here and some stock wax but they won’t darken the wood at all will they?might try a bit under the recoil pad and see.
Thanks will look into it,bloody lockdown gonna slow down the process though..

Stage 1,what’s gonna be the best way to darken the wood?
Will do,not expecting miracles though,I only have very basic set of wood files and very little patience..
About to get out a rasp and reshape my 10/22 stock..wish me luck,have no idea what I’m doing but a replacement is only $50 if I stuff it up.
Drilled out a storage space under the buttplate of my 10/22 today,makes it a lot lighter as well,Balance’s better for offhand shots being a little front heavy now.
Made a scissor blind setup for the 12ft parkercraft today...hope there is a season this year I’m the most prepared I’ve ever been!!
Made case tumbler from plastic container ,a bolt and nut and cordless drill today,biltong box yesterday.
Made up a biltong drying box this afternoon,got some venison marinating overnight,4days from now should be tucking into it..
Might reshape the stock on the 10/22 ,have painted the duck boat and gonna try an strip the carb on the 7.5hp outboard.been 2 days and I’m bored already..
