Vulcan .25 Makeover.

Well of course there is the long process of sanding the entire stock stippling included. I used medium to fine 320 grit sand paper and pad. My original plan was to stain it with a ebony finish but it didn't turn out so good. In order to do that you get everything down to natural wood color and I don't have the skill, tools or the patience for that. I got the ideal of the paint from someone on another forum and the paint I found is by rustoleum and it's a textured paint. Label says wood, metal and other surfaces. I just took my time and evenly sprayed and applied multiple coats, not thick ones just even. After about 3 coats I attempted a satin clear but didn't like the look, so I applied 2 more coats of paint and let her dry. The feel is kinda gritty almost like fine sand paper, I myself like the feel. Here is a pic of the paint. Hope this helps.

"ahobie17"I know..I know...different strokes for different folks, but why do people think carbon stick on tape is so cool..it's just tape, kind of like a band-aid covering a booboo, or lipstick on a pit bull....

I know some of you guys really like the look..I just can't stand putting tape on a gun...

OK rant over....black stock is fine I hope the paint holds up well to abuse.

Lipstick on a pitbull...lol. I get it I started doing this after I scratch the finish on some shrouds before. So it's act as a barrier of protection as well. I still laughing at that one.

What does the highlighted part mean?

My previous scope was a Hammers first focal plane scope with a 30mm tube which was very heavy in comparison to the Hawke.
