CZ Varmint stock mod
CZ Varmint stock mod
The stock on mine has some beautiful wood, hidden by some awful spray finish. Ive intended from day one to strip it and put a good and proper finish on it. But, I thought, before slathering the stripper on it Ill rub it out with a rottenstone slurry and see what that does, it did this,
Im not a big fan of a high gloss riflestock but it looks better than it did and rubbing it out did surely make that grain pop. Not sure where Ill go from here. I just wish that stain CZ dipped it in wasnt so danged dark.

Re: CZ Varmint stock mod
Very nice! I would like to do something like that on my MTR, but I have no woodworking experience and afraid to!

I wouldnt have done anything to mine if it was t for the odd color of it. I dint know if the wood is just really dark, unusually dark or if its some stain the factory put on or what. I look around at all of the other CZs and they have a color sort of like the Henrys. I look around on Gunbroker and the like and all of the 457's I see are much lighter. And, yes, it does have some very nice grain that I wanted to highlight, or at least be able to see it.
I probably will end up stripping it and starting from scratch, I dint like the "plastic" look. I want a nice rubbed oil finish look, and the only way to get that look is to have a rubbed oil finish.
