The “Winchester Stock Oil” I use is a product a restorer sells on eBay. It is boiled linseed oil and some tint. Supposedly very close ti what Winchester originally used. I cut it 2-1 with mineral spirits. The Watco Danish Oil I use straight from the can. It has worked really well on a lot of stocks. I use the natural color but they have tinted.

It really depends upon the situation. I have developed a process the last couple years. I always start with rubbing the wood down with denatured alcohol. This will get off any grime and kind of let me know what I’m dealing with. Often, someone has added a poly type finish at some point in the life of the rifle. This comes off best with denatured alcohol either scrubbing it with 0000 steel wool, or a combination of steel wool and scraping with a thin plastic scraper (if the finish is really thick). I will also use a wipe/scrub with acetone if there is from water or oils, or if I want to get the wood back to a more neutral color. I avoid using sand paper if I can. I don’t like to remove wood. However, I have on a couple rifles (this one included) sanded a fair bit. The Model 12 stock was really wavy and coarse feeling so it got more sanding. 220-400-800-1000 grit. When sanding, you really have to be careful not to sand the edges where the tang and the butt plate interface with the stock. It can be really easy to take off wood and then the metal is proud to the wood and it is pretty obvious the wood has been sanded too much. I then go back usually with several applications of Danish oil applied by hand and rubbed in. Sometimes I will start with an application or two of Winchester stock oil if I want a a reddish tone.

It was in rough shape when it got it at auction. I had to fix 5 cracks in the stock and one in the forend. Then I cleaned off rust, etc and cold blued the scope and rifle, and refinished the wood with a hand rubbed oil finish (before photos from the auction site)

The Remington with the G4 scope weighs about 5lb 7.5oz loaded.

How about a 1910 Remington Model 12 I’ll weight it when I get home Run some CCI Quiet 22 and it sounds like a pellet gun.

Up for sale is a beautiful 1936 Remington Model 11 16ga Shotgun “The Sportsman”. The Sportsman is a 3-shell version of the Model 11, to comply with waterfowl regulations. It is an early 1936 as it still has the three bird roll mark on each side (which stopped sometime in early 1936). Beautiful hand checkered American walnut stock and forend. These are finished in a hand rubbed Danish oil finish. The barrel is fitted with a Cutts compensator (most likely original) with a full choke end piece. The original bluing is mostly intact but it has turned a bit more brownish with patina. Includes a mostly full box of vintage Western Expert paper shotgun shells #4 shot. Located in Nashville and for sale to folks who can legally own a firearm. $500 obo Additional photos on request

I like the scout scope set up. The trapper I’m building will have the same set up.

Which one is that?

The bombing of Pearl Harbor is closer to the launch of MTV, that the launch of MTV is to today.

Oof

That’s what I get for working on a rifle and not checking TGO. I miss all the deals. And I have cash in my pocket (that needs to go elsewhere, LOL)

Do you also own land in Tennessee? Or is this just happening in Louisiana?

SPM

I’ll get some out to you in the morning. Anything in particular you want to see?

My dad and I spent many a weekend in the 70’s and 80’swatching WINSTON CUP racing. it will always be the Winston Cup.

I have three in the works. We will see which how long they take. I’m still waiting on the Form 3 transfers. One is a single item trust through Silencer Shop. The other two will be done by my FFL/SOT so I’m not sure how we will file the Form 4s for those two.

So, I did a slightly reckless bid (or two) on GD today and now I really need to move the Remington. I’m dropping the price to what I have in it (plus the sweat equity which is free to you). $1050.

Nope. And there are few around woh could have. I bet the King could still do it.

Good looking. GLWS

Also, if you hadn’t jumped on that 44, I likely would have.

@TripleGGG, I think you need a Remington Model 81

Saturday Bump Someone surely needs this really sweet rifle (so I can get another LeverGun)

No, that’s and assault revolver
