Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles BRNO ZG-47 stock refinish project for Moose Mike.

The only thing left to do it is wait about 3 or 4 more weeks and let the finish cure. After that happens I'll go back and rub it out with Rottenstone and water. After that I'll wax it and call it good to go.

Could it have been better? I think yes. In hind sight I should have done two more coats of filler on the stock. BRNO used poor quality walnut on these and I have never worked on a stock that had pores as open as these. That said, I'm happy with the results. You aren't going to make a silk purse out of a sows ear and this is a good example of that. I think it's was a huge improvement though and will be good for another 50 years if the next owner so chooses.

I hope some will find this helpful.
