RWS 48 PROJECT project - MORE PICTURES // COLOR SUGGESTION WELCOME

[kp4att]

I WAS BORING OF THE BROWN COLOR OF THIS RIFLE, SO I PAINTED METALIC ORANGE 4 MONTHS AGO.

PROBLEM: THE PAINT WAS PELLING OFF

                                  NOW....  I WILL DO A WOOD STAINING JOB AND SOMETHING MORE ERRATIC WITH $2.95 TOTAL !!!

                                            I WILL USE A HAND SAW, 2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND 2 BOLTS.

           WATCH  THE BEGINNING



                              KP4ATT - GERALD   ((( Then a MARAUDERSTEIN....?)))

Looks good , keep us up to date on your progress.I question,how did you strip the inside of the stock?
This is my 48 that I striped and refinished 2 weeks ago.

[HILMAN76]

Nice work,Keep us posted on progress..Its going to come out sweeeeet

[kp4att]

NICE JOB PHILL... I SAW YOUR THREAD A WEEK AGO...

IN ADDITION I  SAW THE WOOD PATTERNS OF YOUR RIFLE.

 NOW THE STAINING  DESIGN THAT I WANTED I CAN NOT DO IT, BECAUSE

1. I AM NOT A WOOD EXPERT AND THE WOOD PATTERNS DO NOT HELP ME.

2. I WILL STAIN WOOD BY FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE.

3. I DID A STAIN TEST IN THE STOCK WOOD AND I DO NOT LIKED THE FIRST COLOR.

I WILL TRY ANOTHER COLOR APPLICATION WITH STAIN.

 I WILL TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT.



ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION:

 I USED A PAINT STRIPER AND A RAG FOR THE INSIDE AREA OF THE STOCK. I REAPETED THE PROCESS IN THIS AREA BETWEEN  3 TO 4 TIMES.

geraldo whats going on brother that stock is coming out beautiful for sure ,so much talent in your mind that i have to go to the wizard of oz and get me a new brain cause im back up .thanks for showing this post cause this is the way im learning ..anyway keep up that great work .thats a good way to spend a day on a nice hot day cause the beach out there is very close that u could go anytime.changing the color to a rifle is good cause it tells u that u own the rifle and nobody could claim it or take credit for an excellent job ....keep doing your thing brother geraldo ...from jorge lopez nyc....God bless us all ...
