My SMR from Pecatonica kit

[Crow#21957]

Not done yet but had to set the barrel and lock in to get a look. First long tang I've done
and first time I've blackened the metal. It looks like really dark grey. Thought about rubbing it back some but I like it.In the one pic there's two barrels and forearms. It's the one with the little guitar thingy behind it.

Looks like a good color to me. Really shows the grain.

The pic. Looks alot lighter than it is. It is setting under 4 teack lights LED.
ONCE I GET IT All together I will get better pics.

What grade wood did you order?

 

[DirtyDusty]

The stock defiantly looks like it has some nice grain to it. I am curious too, as to what grade it is.

 

[Crow#21957]

DirtyDuster the stock is grade 5.
I told pecatonica I want the highest grade I could get from them.I don't think I did it justice.

More pics. I would like for it to be a little darker but I'm pretty happy with it. Still need to put the upper tang screw in.

Nice job and beautiful stock. My first kit was a Pectatonica Lehigh. I really enjoyed it cause I got to learn all the inletting process. It was a great kit for sure and Doug was very helpful when I ordered, great company.

I haven't been paying attention....not unusual for me. What did you stain this with?

 

[Crow#21957]

Comfortably Numb I put a coat of nut brown which was pretty light and redish, then a coat of walnut wich darkened it a good amount. Then when I put the finish I n I used Permalyn sealer for all the coats ,, about5 or 6. Then rubbed it back to a satin shine.. I'm not a fan of gloss. If anyone is curious barrel and all the steel was coated with two coats of Birchwood caseys perma blue.
