My CZ SXS Coachgun Sharptail Done My Way
Ok Guy's/Gal's
If you read any of my other post's, I bought a CZ Sharptail SXS Coachgun off an Online dealer. When I received it straight out of the unopened box the left barrel hammer would not cock. Sent back to CZ in Kansas City, they said up to 4 weeks to Six weeks turn around. It actually was back in approx. one week to my front door.
The Sharptail comes with a 14" LOP, which is way to long for me. I am only 5'5" tall. I usually like my rifles/shotguns LOP at 12.5" but I cut this one down to 13" LOP. Feels pretty good. Mounted some sling swivels on her and a sling. Put a 3/4" recoil pad on her and she is ready to go. I also like the feel of soft wood without all the poly on it. I like a wax finish without any stain. So I stripped the wood down and that is exactly what I did . The wax finish.
Took her out today and fired her with no problems. Very happy with her now. Fits me and does just what she is suppose too. I know she is not every bodies cup of tea, but she is mine and works and looks just like I like.
I do know why HUGLU uses such a dark finish on their shotguns. If you look at mine being stripped, the forearm is lighter than the butt stock. They don't have to match wood that way.

Looks good, another excellent project Stan. She could stay at my house anytime.
I have a Marlin ME rifle that the forearm is much lighter than the butt stock.

Re: My CZ SXS Coachgun Sharptail Done My Way
Sir,
Thank you so much. I hate that I have to do this to absolutely every rifle/shotgun that i own since I am so short 5'5"
The only rifles that I do not really have to worry about is my 1873 Short deluxe rifle and my Winchester 92 short rifle.

Understand, but looks like you have down to a science.
Like I said, another fine job.

That's a right nice looking coach gun. That would be a proud addition to any gun collection. Shoot and enjoy.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Thanks Al,
Mine matched also with factory finish. Did you strip your stock also ?
