I posted about two months ago that I'd begun to re-finish the stock of my fathers Remington model 722 in .222 Rem. It had been held by my non gun brothers for at least 10 years and was lightly rusted and the finish had been attacked by unknown substances and had gummy sections on it. It was ugly.
The rifle was the first new firearm my dad had ever purchased, back in the
50s. He used it to eradicate the local woodchuck population behind our home in central NJ. (Imagine doing that today in the demokratic peoples republik of new jersistan)
It was not a top of the line model, no checkering nothing fancy, just a simple accurate rifle. Well the stock came out quite nicely, the wood had much better figure than one would expect from a low priced rifle. The rifle shoots very nicely and now looks as good as it shoots. All I need to do is keep the fingers of those that do not understand that a rifle is work of art, not something to stick in a closet and hide, off of it.
