Red Ryder 1893

RE: Red Ryder 1893
Thanks Ken, they pulled through with your suggestion. That stock just goes with that gun---good choice. OUCH! Looks like a mistake that won't happen again---glad you're OK. That wasn't your trigger finger was it? Where did you get gun stain? I've not seen or heard of it. Also, wouldn't a router w/3/4 or 1" edging bit be easier, or would the stock have too many different breaks in it, to be useful? That is, if a person has a router.

Seen that at Lowes tonight, the color was called gun stock by Minwax. I wanted to get that but the original color of the gun was a deep red.

Yup, and what's worse, it's my mouse clickin' finger. I'm a web designer and now I'm really handicapped. Can't type worth a crap either...

Like Gnepig said, it's available wherever stains are sold...

I am sure there are easier (and safer) ways to do this, but I used what I had available. Now I have an excuse to buy more power tools!

RE: Red Ryder 1893
Thanks Guys, didn't realize the home remodeling centers now carry gun stain--who wooda thunk? I got to thinking about the router again and for a flat stock such as a BB gun, yeah, it would work, BUT for a REAL gun stock with "Monte Carlo" combs and bowed sides, a person should probably still use good "wood stock rasps" to take down the wood the way it needs to be taken out when doing it by hand. I now remember this was the way my Dad did it when he was a gunsmith.
