Type 1 Finish - Fancy
Finish - Used most often on Extra Fancy Grade
stocks, birch stock sets or custom built rifles. This is a shiny oil finish
that truly brings out the color and figure in the wood.
Type 2 Finish -
Un-issued/Original Finish - Used most
often when the wood has never been sanded before, does not have deep dents
that require filler. This finish was developed to look like the finishes
found on original issue stock sets. The finish is smooth like the type 1,
but duller.
Type 3 Finish -
Arsenal Finish - This finish is perfect
for that stock set that has a few dings and dents that have to be
filled. This finish is rougher, duller and stained darker.
NOTE: This finish is not recommended where stock markings wish to be
preserved! Most cartouches and P stamps will not be visible after this
finish has been applied.
-
Painstaking preservation of all cartouches and/or other
markings.
-
Raising all dings or dents that can be raised through
conventional means.
-
Epoxy filling of deep gouges as per government rebuild
practice.
-
Micro wood finishing.
-
Military-spec stock stain
-
Custom hand-rubbed oil finish where several coats are used,
so the drying process takes much longer than that of other commercially
available stocks. The results are a more attractive stock with a
longer lasting finish.
