5/2/2023 0 Comments Milsurp stock crack![]() ![]() You can make your own, but I'm told finding the right manufacturers (even generic) is trial and error, and I like to support fellow hobbyists, he sells it cheap enough. It is his packaging of "Gunny's Paste", known by a few other names as well it's a mix of BLO, Turpentine and Beeswax. Tom's 1/3 mix: Saw forum users with it, gave it a try. The bottom Birch M14 stock was done this way. I apply with the 0000 steel wool, then rub in by hand. You will know when the wood is not soaking it up much more. So, after cleaning, use Fairtrimmers if needed, then 2-4 coats of thinned BLO (1 do one coat per day, approximately!). After hearing enough about thinning it I mixed a bottle with turpentine, I like that method. Regarding BLO: I used to apply it straight, usually with a 0000 steel wool pad, let it sit 30-60 min then wipe off. Top one I used USSR stain, other two just Fairtrimmers. I generally do a few coats until I like the look, then cover with a few coats of BLO (more on that next). It is BLO based so can be removed later like BLO with mineral spirits if needed (I never have). It is very subtle, one coat and you can't tell much. I have had good results, the tints get into the broken fibers of cartouches (and gouges!), as well as soak up differently in different grain. Sme don't like it, some claim it doesn't work. It is a BLO base, with thinners (Turpentine?) and tints, formulated to accent grain and cartouches. I use Fairtrimmers Military OX oil frequently as my first few coats. ![]() Some have used this with great results I suggest you use pure oil for your first job. WM generally does not have it, but they carry (as does Lowes, HD) "Tung Oil Finish" (from a few companies, Fornbys is one). Note: Make sure you buy Tung Oil or Boiled (or Raw) Linseed Oil. I tried Tung once, it did not seem better (I used pure tung oil from Woodcrafters). I generally use BLO (generic from Lowes/Home Depot). Otherwise I rarely add stain, most stocks I work on are milsurp so I just clean and re-oil, they don't often need stain. I used USSR stain (available from forum member USSR) on one just to try it out, great stuff. Note middle one still has a few stains, I kept working on it. 2nd spray, note the stains on newspaper of what the PP was removing. M14 stocks I wiped off dust and any visible grease/cosmo then sprayed with PP and let sit. Soviet Stocks that are painted in lacquer are different, generally just a wipe with a damp cloth, maybe purple power, is all they need.ġ. I got an M14 stock from CMP that had some funky clear stain, looked like tape residue (but GooGone did not affect it), that was the only time I used a chemical stripper, and it did not impress me. Wipe off, maybe use some warm water on the sponge, and repeat as necessary. Wipe off what you can, then spray on your cleaner, let it sit a few minutes, then scrub with a sponge with the built in scotchbrite (again, dollar store). ny of these work best I use whatever of these is handy, purple power probably being "the best", but I don't rush it. I have tried Purple Power (in spray bottle, with about 50% water), Simple Green (also cut with water, Citrus Cleaner (dollar tree) and dollar tree knock offs of purple power. Generally a good water based cleaner is all I need. To start, I never use chemical stripper (unless there is some chemical on the stock). To be clear, my knowledge is from reading the old Surplus Firearms magazines, trying different methods, and reading forums (mostly here and SurplusRifle Forum the stock care section is the best).
