I started a thread about removing the white spacers in my 512 Kids Shooting Instruction Rifle.

http://forums.accuratereloadin...9411043/m/9161015081

Many expressed the opinion that I should leave it as is.

I decided to post a poll to get opinions.

Question:
What should I do to this rifle before finishing the stock?





Choices:
Leave it as is, it's downright sexy!
Replace the white spacers W/more subtle black.
Find an original replacement stock.
Put a tupperware stock on lt.
Throw the thing in the trash, it's ruined now!

Wow, as time goes on the "leave it alone" option is gaining favor.

Because of its history and the flawless workmanship I voted to leave it as-is. Having said that, I think the white spacers are horrid(i hate all white-line spacers and those are like white-line spacers on steroids).

As I said, I do admire your work.

I would have some sort of leather cover made for the butt.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

I like it as is. It looks like a bongo.

I tghink I'll go ahead & finish it as is. It would be nice if the white toned down to an ivory hue.

The water based stain I use doesn't penetrate the plastic though.
