Hmm I never had a problem with the finish. I had no Idea you could get a high gloss finish. What does it look like?

[bdshil]

Yeah I am going prairie dog hunting this fall and just bought another .223 New England with a bull barrel and I'm going to get a thumb hole stock for it as well

[bdshil]

I don't know, I have never seen one but I'm kinda glad it ended up this way. I was having second thoughts about a gloss stock with a matte finish barrel

[Gunman9]

Oh nice. I have thought about a single shot but I'm in love with lever actions lol I like a bolt action for stuff like varmints, lever for deer and other big game

[bdshil]

The standard finish is perfect

[Gunman9]

Ya and with high gloss you can see every little Chip, scratch and piece if dirt and dust

[bdshil]

Yeah I have an old glen field 30-30 that has been the family deer rifle for years. I just redone all of the wood and re blued everything. Looks like new and it is an early 80's model

[Gunman9]

Very nice!! I have all marlins. I have a 336 30-30, Stainless 1895 in 45-70 government, 795 and a bunch of others

[bdshil]

I would like to get the 45-70. Beautiful gun

[Gunman9]

It's my favorite gun in my entire collection. It will never leave the family lol I will haunt whoever sells it. Lol

[bdshil]

Lol same thing with my 30-30http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/08/avy6adaj.jpg

[Gunman9]

Very nice! What stain did you go with on the wood?

[bdshil]

It's birch wood Casey walnut stain with oil rub finish

[bdshil]

The original stain was much lighter

[Gunman9]

Oh ok. Here is mine I hydro dipped the stock myself.

I love that! A buddy of mine just ordered a hydro dip kit and we have played with it a little bit. Not very good with it yet

[Gunman9]

It is way harder than it looks to get the technique down that's Forsure!!!!!

[bdshil]

Good cause I was beginning to think we were just idiots cause the videos make it look so easy

[Gunman9]

Lol naw it's hard. Start with little stuff. Make sure you tape the film and make the cuts. And you spray the activator evenly those 2 steps are the most important and you water temprature
