REPOLISHING the stock on your gun...Roger Pace

We look at how to get your wooden stock on any gun to look polished, shiny and new again. We look at the different types of finishes...oil...lacquer or in my case marine grade gloss varnish. We need to protect the detailed chequering and so we cover this in tape and give it a non slip oil finish once we have done the gloss. We look at the Tru-oil system and discuss some of the do's and don'ts. Cover everything that you don't want polished with masking tape. We look at the different grades of sandpaper we need for a smooth glossy finish. Have a look at mine and if you like it...have a go...it's not that difficult...Thanks for watching...stay well and happy shooting...Roger Pace

Thanks Roger looks super

Yes Ed ...i'm happy with it !!!

[@sanketshinde1142]

Thanks for taking the time. I would love to see a time lapse the next time you do another stock. Cheers!

[@rogerpace9322]

sanket...can't do time lapse...I do the videos on my iphone...cheers !!!

[@sanketshinde1142]

@@rogerpace9322 Your iPhone does support a time lapse mode. When you go to your camera app, scroll on the band just above the capture button, to the left until you see Time-Lapse. This should be a great addition to your video making tools :)

OK ...but no promises !!!

Hello Roger, I watched a lot of your video's lately as I'm a starting shooter. Very educational and very entertaining material. So here is a big thank you for all the tips and tricks I learned from you! Greetings from Belgium! :-)

[@rogerpace9322]

Good on you and thanks...stay well !!!

[@bruceweta8309]

That looks great. I will give the spray varnish a go this week on a second hand gun I got last week . Never thought of doing it that way

[@rogerpace9322]

Bruce...give it a go...don't put too much on !!!

[@umk5022]

Wow, great job........looks like a brand new gun. My stock has a few minor nicks in it and I think I’ll bring it to Krieghoff at the end of the year for them to buff out as they have in the past. I’m not very handy and don’t trust myself to do anything like this LOL. Excellent work and great video as always

[@rogerpace9322]

Lloyd thank you for your kind words...yes look after the Kreighoff...stay well...!!!

Hi Roger time for a new vid mate I haven’t. Shot trap for 4 Years but today I shot 2 rounds of sb with scores of 15 and 17 I’m stokedstay well mate

[@rogerpace9322]

Bruce thank you for getting in touch...you have motivated me to do another video ...but not tonight cos ive had a couple of reds...stay well and good good shooting single barrel...!!!

[@AGENT-tq1nm]

@@rogerpace9322 pls also talk about ''second shot'' placement in that video

[@buckshotaaa]

Very informative presentation Roger, in your usual style that everyone can understand. That stock looks the biz, you can be proud of it mate. What's you thoughts on applying "boiled linseed oil" periodically to a standard stock that hasn't had any kind of fettling done to the finish? I have a 2 year old B725 that i always apply a light dusting of Legia spray followed by a good buffing with a micro fibre cloth when i've finished my cleaning regime prior to storing. All the best. 👍

[@rogerpace9322]

I know nothing about boiled linseed oil I wish i could help but i can't...thank you very much for watching!!!

[@stefanofilippi4525]

Hi Roger, your videos are always interesting and it's a pleasure to see you every time. (By the way, did you cancelled the one with the 30 tips for a happy life?) I think that you didn't applied the tru oil in the correct way. I know that you don't have to thin the tru oil, unless you are starting from the naked wood. Moreover, I have understood that you applied it with a brush, and this is a big mistake. I know, and made by myself on my stocks, that tru oil has to be applied with a wad ( or should I say a swab ?) or also with your finger, but always in very, very thin layers. Then let to dry for some hours. Then again another layer. Repeat up to three times a day. Every some applications, you have to sand with the finest sand paper, then with steel wool, the finest you can find (00 or 000 if I am not wrong). Then repeat several times. The higher the number of cycles, the better is the result. For the finest guns this procedure can last up to several weeks...... You can find lot of videos on you tube, like the following one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmW0c4Bplrdlidk This is considered the best way to obtain optimum results for the finest guns. Anyway, I have to say that your stock appears really beautifull: glossy but not to much, smooth and silky. Also the color of the wood, dark, is really elegant and it well fits with a very nice gun. My compliments and stay well.

[@rogerpace9322]

Yes i got rid of the 30 tips for a happy life...and yes you are very correct about the tru oil...!!!

[@AGENT-tq1nm]

Hey roger! Can you tell us about things we need to keep in mind while shooting the "Second Shot" after we miss the first shot on the Olympic Trap clay target...? And how not to miss it everytime ??

[@rogerpace9322]

Agent 47...yes i will my friend...very soon !!!

[@duncnz3129]

Good one Rodger , I have never seen that technique using spray varnish before , it looks very interesting and a lot easier to get a great finish than the hand rubbing way . Did you stain the stock at all ? Cheers Dunc

[@rogerpace9322]

Thanks 👍 No ...just rubbed it back to the wood !!!

[@tonyianni5339]

Roger, was the change from 690 worth the trouble in hindsight. Got 1 for 1 year and don't want to upgrade for no reason.currently shooting 23 to 25.thx

[@rogerpace9322]

Tony ...the ASE GOLD is a lovely gun and I love shooting it...but...so far I am not shooting any better with it...BUT...because of the change in guns I have dropped some bad habits in my pre shot routine and that has been a good thing...to be honest I am not shooting any better than I did with the 690..I only changed cos the 690 broke and i was without a gun for a few weeks...maybe it will help in the future...stay well and t6hanks !!!
