Mark taught me to scrape many years ago (via video) and its crazy how much ive used it. I had a flat "multi tool" scraper (one of the oscollating dohickeys) that I never used. Nice springy steel. Ive put many miles on it. Probably cut it down 3/8 of an inch sharpening it by now. Redid every gun damaged in a house fire. Mark. Is. The. Shjt.

I recently refinished/reshaped a model 514 stock just like that. I straightened, pointed and fluted the comb, reshaped the toeline and added a grip cap, fitted a new buttpad with a brass spacer, cut the forend tip and added a ebony forend tip also with a brass spacer. Sanded everything starting at 100- 220. Sealed and sanded the finish in (tru-oil+mineral spirits)from 320 all the way through 1000(many coats sanded in) until all the pores were filled and the finish was smooth as glass then buffed it down to a crystal clear satin sheen. It took some time but there was some gorgeous wood under all that varnish and stain.....It was a gift for my dad.

I can recommend that to every aspiring woodworker: watch the gunmakers & learns that bit from them. It will enhance your view on the "bundle of soda straws" ;) Another little thing (when you have fresh wood): wet it a little, dry it, then 320 or 280 it again, not much, just cut the fibres the water had standing up.

Yes, boiled. He has a hot water tank that he hung the barreled action in. It causes the bluing chemicals to convert. Then, he uses a special buffer to remove the oxidation to reveal the pretty blue finish underneath. I had preserved this one 7 years ago after the fire by cleaning and oiling immediately. It lost all its bluing from the heat and steam. Just had to keep an eye on it and keep it oiled.

Great video, Mark, as usual. I would, however, caution DIY'ers about proper handling/disposal of rags used to wipe linseed oil-based finishes. Before disposal of wiping rags, it is important to hang or lay the rags in a single, flat layer to dry completely. Rags/paper towels that have been even slightly saturated with linseed oil, if thrown in the trash or balled-up, can easily spontaneously combust, sometimes in a few hours. Some people will soak them in water, but allowing them to air-dry instead has always worked for me, the very same advice is appropriate for disposing of oil/solvent based stains.

Thanks for an excellent video, it will come in handy. I found a great condition vintage M14 stock a few months back for my M1A socom I plan on switching out the polymer stock (kryptek highland) for a more authentic tanker style.

@@PatRMG immensely useful. It has a high sheen finish and I was wondering how best to remove it and get to the wood without screwing it up…..now I know. Thanks again.

Good day and a big thank you for doing this how-to. I just about a half hour ago found this channel. Absolutely perfect timing. I am a rookie-novice at this stock refinishing thing. I have worked with wood refinishing but never gun stocks. I currently am about to undertake a refinish project on a 1960 Marlin 60 .22, so this is a huge find for me. Thank you again. Now, I do have one question that I am "fretting" over.This stock has checkering and flues (sorry, just had a brain fart) Nice little squirrel carved into it as well. What do you recommend for getting those areas ready for the finish? I am in a holding pattern before I even consider moving forward in those areas.

I have gone back to this video multiple times, Mark is a true craftsman. Staying on topic with the video, anybody try this on a birch stock? If so did it color evenly?

I'm guessing oil impregnated wood around the action should have oil extracted by gentle heat and absorbent material before scraping not by the application of chemical solvents like acetone?
