Polished the poo out of it.

Started With this

Bought a Boyd's Evo Stock, BSA Sweet 17(its temporary), and GM 20' Stainless Bull Barrel

Sent off the Trigger and Bolt to get worked over.

Got bored with my dismantled gun and started polishing!

(this one is a shot before i did my last round of polishing)

Now im waiting for my action parts to come back so i can assemble it and hit the range!!

Looks awesome.

Looks good so far! Nice polish job on the receiver. Looks like you polished the inside of the receiver too?

 

[technobear]

Thanks!
I ran some polish on the inside but i didnt really polish it like i did the outside.
I was mostly fixing the abuse spots from the guns previous owner, and removing the paint.

This is my first time polishing so its not perfect.

Love those props to get it stood up evenly! How long did it take you to find out the play dough and deodorant are the perfect height!?

Looks great, I'm in the middle of my 10/22 build as well. Went with a different stock (very similar though, Predator Raptor in Onxy). I've got the part but havn't got it together yet. Great looking rifle, let us know how it shoots.

 

[pmorriso]

Looks great, did you notice much of a weight difference between the two setups?

 

[kboom524]

Looks great!! You will like that GM barrel. I have 2 10/22s with GM barrels on them, very happy with them.

Oh, and ive been polishing...

 

[technobear]

OH and to be honest.. i only put 10 rounds through it before i started the build...

I shot it once more when i had just put the barrel, scope, and stock together and i was doing thumb sized groups at 25 yards after about 5 rounds of sighting in.. it was very windy and cold...

Once the trigger is back ill get it back together and get it somewhere to really sight it in and see what its capable of.

Very Nice! I have a Ruger SS Target bbl that I got from another member a while back That I want to put on one of my standard rifles. After seeing your work I might try to strip and polish the receiver. Then open up the bbl channel on one of the old walnut stocks I have and refinish it. Good Job!

 

[technobear]

Thanks!
For stripping, i heard that dropping it in acetone for several hours will strip it clean with no scrubbing in 60+ degree weather,

I used airplane stripper from walmart..

Thanks for the tip! I was just going to start sanding......

 

[technobear]

if you have any other questions give me a holler.

Looks sweet play around with a lot of different ammo you'll be shooting dime sized groups at 100 yards. Really though props on the rifle that stock is sick.

 

[Foodman]

How long did it take to polish the receiver?
