Re: Refinishing a stock?
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...

Re: Refinishing a stock?
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....

Re: Refinishing a stock?
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 ...

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...

Re: Tell me about the "71"
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.
