N/A Walther restored

[Gunnertrones]

A glance of my inside-and-out restored Walthers. (LGR RT/2 LGR universals/LG90/LGV. And a Walther mod 55 that soon will be finished.
As you notice they are all scoped, since I prefer plinking at different distances. 10 m target shooting with diopters is not my thing, and these 40-60 years old rifles are capable for a lot more than 10m.

Those looks amazing. What do you use and what’s your process. I enjoy refinishing stocks and always looking for new ways.

Those looks amazing. What do you use and what’s your process. I enjoy refinishing stocks and always looking for new ways.

Many ways, but I do this;
Sanding, sanding, sanding….. From 80 grit, and step by step up to 400. Now the oiling process starts combined with wet/oil-sanding (800 grit or 000 steel wool) and drying between layers. Minimum 2-3 layers with “oilsandingpolish”. Then 2-3 layers with thorough wiping between layers.
A last layer after a week or two doesn’t hurt.

If necessary before the sanding process, and if there is room for it (!), one can trim and cut parts of the stock for a personal design and better lines. (look at one of my lgr, the dark one, and what I did to the lines under the cheek peace).
Oil? A lot of options. I often use Junkers benchoil.
