carved down and re-finished my 22-250 pics!!

[tanman]

hated shooting my 22-250 the stock was bulky and heavey so i took a big chance and started carving her down ... took all the hardware off and heres how she looked

took a wood planer and took even ammounts off where it was needed

took a palm sander and evened it all out

rough sanded everything that did not get carved down

applied two under coates of dull black spray paint

using stenciels put on one coat of flat white spray pain. havent finished it yet but planing on using matte clear finish

and its all done!

nice job, what brand/model was that?

[tanman]

an old model made in england... st huberts co.... i wanted to buy a new stock looked on line in magazines talked to gun smiths cabellas gander everywhere noone has ever heard of it

so i just carved it down

[walleye101]

That's what I thought, very few of them made. An old St Huberts in original condition can bring between 10-15 grand!

[walleye101]

Just kidding!

Nice work on the customizing.

ok i just about filled my pants before i scrolled down!

[walleye101]

Sorry man, that was a bit cruel.

Actually, I really like the look and was considering doing the same with my old Remington 788 in 22-250.

I have a 223 that might look nice with the same work.
