Buy yourself a FAL

dbateman

Well, I don't think Charles is out of line, I think he's funny. But, in the spirit of the US election season, just go ahead and take offense. I for one, think you have a fine looking rifle. I suppose it might be worth $4500 AUS but it won't be when you muck with the finish. That's YOUR problem thou...

dbateman

It will not always be your rifle. You will sell it, trade it, or die some day and somebody down the line will curse your memory for what you did to that rifle, that cannot be undone. But if you are bound and determined to refinish it, do it right and use an electric sander to remove the old finish....

dbateman

The last set I refinished was from an SLR (L1A1). It took lots of elbow grease, and iron, upto 500 grit paper, and above all patience. I also removed numerious dents as well as fixing cracks....I'll post pics if folks want to see an military rifle. I would love to see your SLR man those things are ...

dbateman

Nice work I will have to give HOWARD’S FEED 'N WAX a try.

dbateman

Thanks for the reply's guys it is still in very good condition it's actually like it was from the factory, I would like to make the stock really pop you know when you look at a stock and you just go oh man wow.

I might do one of my other rifles first.

dbateman

Maybe refinish is the wrong word like you say there isn't anything wrong with how it is.

I just would like it to look better.

dbateman

I know there is the information on here and I have searched but I couldn't find a write up on how to refinish a stock. From what I can tell you take fine steel wool and rub the stock back and apply oil to the the stock? I have heard of tung oil or tru oil is one better that the other? I have also he...

dbateman

Thanks. I am not to worried about the stud I am however very excited to have a Mod 71 been looking for one for a long time. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh93/dbateman83/P1000722.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh93/dbateman83/P1000726.jpg Cant wait to get some ammo loaded up and take he...

dbateman

Yeah I have a Mod 71 with a stud on the stock but not on the fore end, it doesn't look like it has been broken off the cap. Dose this look like a factory stud? http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh93/dbateman83/P1040058.jpg Maybe someone fitted the stud to it. Here is the fore end cap. http://i254.p...

dbateman

I did do a search but have not come up with much info.

So I thought instead of starting a new thread I would just add to this one.

Dose anyone know if the Mod71 ever came with a sling stud in the stock and not the fore end ?

Thanks.

dbateman

Thanks guys I might just leave it how it is and clean it up and enjoy it the way it is . On another note I just bought an original mod 71 just waiting on it to get here :) I just need to load some ammo for it I cant wait to take it out for a shot guns like that need to be used :) and yes I am exited...

dbateman

Thanks guy's it's not to bad it still shoot's ok but I bought it supposedly in as new condition and it's not so it has always annoys me so I never shot it as much as i would like so I was thinking about it and though I could get it refinished and then I though what could I build on it ?

dbateman

I have a win94BB chambered in 375Win and it's not in the best shape so I was just thinking are there any improved or wildcat rounds based on the 375 ?

dbateman

I just want Australia back .

dbateman

Oh wait I know this one it's the original LTR .

Winchester Trapper in 45Colt .

dbateman

I like the 45Lc round I have a Win Trapper in 45Lc and I love it .

But I think you should have two rifle's maybe not in the same cal but just have two of them .

You know two is one , one is none .

dbateman

Oh you got me when I seen that I was like what in the name of ...... would someone want to do that for ?

dbateman

Why do y'all hunt camels? Do you eat them? Are they being culled as pests? Does anybody hunt kangaroos with a bow? I know they can be very destructive of crops. Respectfully submitted -- I'm not being a smart alec, I'm just igorant of your ways. camels are a pest , how ever there is a export market...

dbateman

45colt , because big heavy lead kill's stuff

dbateman

there is no doubt in my mind that the 45colt will stop a camel... but a 308 should to
may be an issue with bullet selection or shot placement

for some reason my favourite camel rifle is my 303-25 ?? it doesn't get used for much else
