Seems I have seen a kit or something that allows you to try to duplicate the finish of say, a Bell and Carlson Medalist stock. Anyone know about this? A previous owner inlet a large, pot-metal snarling panther into the right side of the butt. I removed it, and now have a big gash to fill and sand. Was thinking that a tan with black spatter webbing finish would make it presentable.

Here's what I am dealing with. Hard to imagine what would compel a person to inlet such dreck into a stock ...

Well, after poking around on the Net, it looks like Bondo will fill the hole, then it's Rust-Oleum textured paint, then Krylon black webbing paint. Not sure how durable it will be. Might be some kind of top coat I could put over it -- even car wax.

This is a wooden stock that started similar to what you've got, done pretty much the way you described. I used Krylon clear flat as a top coat and then Johnsons paste wax. It's held up well.

Craigster, that's exactly the result I would love to achieve. Thanks for posting it.

That looks darn nice.

Hit four stores today and no webbing spray. Will have to go to town ...

Bill,

I was thinkin', you might want to glue or expoxy the panther back into the stock, sand it flush, an then fill the outline joint. That way you'll have a wood plug rather than a wad of bondo in the stock. If you can't find the web paint locally, you can get it from these guys :http://www.misterart.com/

Scratch that idea, didn't catch the pot metal part.

is right!

Will run to Bend today for the Krylon Webbing paint.

Must have been a WSU coug alum that did that...

I was thinking the same thing.

He probably got the idea from an Idaho Vandal.

Put the stock up on Gunbroker and buy a new one.

Well, I have already bondoed the hole flush. Guess I missed my chance to swap in a pot-metal Oregon Duck, eh?

Craigster, what did you do about paint getting into the inletted areas for the action and barrel? Tape them off? Paint anyway?
