New barrel fitted. Now awaiting my front wood from Hatchers.

Cant wait to see it! Did you go with the original 310? Or??

CAVOK · July 12, 2022, 11:09am

Yeah mate, original 310 barrel. Brand spanker my Dad had sitting around for about 40yrs.

My front wood has turned up. It does need a bit of work as I was told when I ordered it. Looking forward to getting into it.

Can i ask where you got the timbers from?

CAVOK · August 5, 2022, 8:13am

Yeah mate I got it from Cameron Hatcher at Hatcher rifle stocks. Mate i am more than happy with the wood, all holes drilled in the correct spot, just needs a bit of sanding and a finish and it will look a million bucks.

Any pics of the buttstock??

CAVOK · August 6, 2022, 7:03am

Have not long pulled it off and started sanding it mate. If there is a bit of of interest I will include some more pics as I go.

Here is the stock. I have pulled it off and given it a light sanding, I want to keep the CMF stamps etc.

The front wood that had been sporterised.

CAVOK · August 7, 2022, 4:42am

I wished they had not done that. Anyhow here is the new front wood that I have started working on.

CAVOK · August 11, 2022, 2:52am

A fair bit of sanding and a few coats of walnut stain and they are starting to look similar.

CAVOK · August 11, 2022, 2:53am

Maybe one more coat each and time for a polish to bring it up.
