That is a very nice stock at first I thought it was an air rifle,£54? that as we say is a fuckin bargain! Are you going to dress it up if so post pics when you're done please?


It is technically real wood as well! Albeit quite softwood. I am planning to varnish it to make it look somewhat like an SVD style gloss stock. Yeah gunfire were blowing them out for £54 a time! I do have a basic rifle scope I can put on it when I am feeling a bit more up for it. 

 
What grade of wet and dry did you use on it?

Or did you use something else?
I have a dust pan brush . I spray paint on to my workshop door work it on to the brush then on to the slide. I use various colours and when I worked it into the brush on the door picks up a little of what was already there. After that I take some tan colour water based model paint and dab it all over and just work it in with my hands for the grubby look.

 
Nice, the railed m9 and m4 don't quite fit  in there.
No?

How come?

I love the M9A1 as its the mil version of a classic

...and got to have at least one M4 variant ;)

I may replace the CZ75 with a Browning Hi-Power mk3 when that comes out.

And I should be receiving a Tar21 today

nothing wrong with them. Against the pre 20mm rail classics all be them old school to the modern eye they just don't quite fit in the group. Not that you have to obviously just an observation.

Thanks for the explanation.

Very effective technique.

So was it all black originally? I mean the frame.

np. yep that is a build up of light dustings of tan, brown and od. I prefer it to a flat 1 color paint job
