It would be nice if we new exactly how Beeman (Weihrauch) achieved the rich color/finish on the original Gaudy Stocks of the 1980’s.

Form the several HW stocks that I have stripped, I believe it was a tinted clear that was sprayed on.

Be sure and monitor the progress…having fumed quite a bit of white oak, it’s easy to go overboard, and that color doesn’t wipe off. Good...

You would be delighted to have proven it possible 🙂 …. then horrified the shot cycle was so wretched 👻 -> then reduce to to 6.5 - 7.5...

Yes, just ordered 5 piston seals for all Wiehrauch models and .113, .118 & .120 springs for HW30S & HW50S. I have a number of OEM...
