I put the gun together I just need to take some pictures, I really messed up my nee yesterday and can't hardly walk right now. It looks good tho, think manners or McMillan had a stock back in the day like this.

Im gimping around right now too, knee injuries suck! Hopefully your gets better quickly

Little sneak peak, the lighting in the house sucks so I'll see if I can get better ones outside tomorrow. Needs some bluing but see how it shoots first.

Ya hope so, never had knee problems but it popped sideways pretty good yesterday.

Made a 1" pad buy laminating 2 together using the clear gorilla glue, you see a bit of a line but the flip flop will tare before the glue let's go. Not the best fit job it's a bit of a pain without a belt sander and the new scouring pads I picked up don't sand down as good as the others I had. Did another coat of matte clear on the stock to.

This one won't melt tho lol. Maybe I'll pony up and buy another pair of flip flops to make another, need to see what works best sanding it down cleaner. For now I'll test it out and see how it holds up.

Ya I'm liking the camo pattern may do that marlin 25 I have but not sure how that stone texture paint will come off or just leave it and camo over top. Think I'd like the green a little darker, it looked very dark when wet but got lighter dried. Guess the nice thing with the sponge paint job you can mix some custom colors pretty easily. I must have 6-7 coats of clear on the stock, it seems so thick when wet hut thin when dry must have used 1/2 the can lol.

Id probably just paint over it if its sticking good, it will provide some texture and shoulnt cause any issues.

Citrus strip....or whatever it's called.... Will take it right off if you want to though.

For my pair of Enfield no. 5 “Jungle Carbines”, I sometimes raised the left arm into a “Chicken wing”.

I didn’t care what anybody thought. It negated the desire for any pad.

And almost no “Real Men” wanted to shoot an Enfield no. 5.
