Need a experienced Gun stock re-finisher

[3ChordTruth]

Thank you sir!! He is the right man for this job, wanted a truoil hand finish, and that’s all he does, absolutely beautiful work

Glad you found someone to do the top quality work that your beautiful rifle deserves.

Nice looking rifle, I found one this year, those guys were like the custom rifle builders of their day. Love their wood

Found my guy!! Thank y’all so much

Holy Moley what a beautiful rifle. What caliber and action is it? Douglas barrel? I have two Flaig’s rifles, but they’re not as nice as your’s! I refinished one with a very plain stock myself, this is my other one (300 Weatherby), could use refinishing at some point. Those old boys were artists. This one is an FN action, my other is a Sako L61R action. Congrats to you on owning such a wonderful piece.

Very nice!!! 7mm mag, Sako L61R action, yes sir I believe Douglas barrel, not 100% sure on that, has a very different contour to the barrel, starts out octagon then blends to round

[url=https: I’m confused by the made in Austria part

[686]

“Made is Austria” - maybe a Steyr barrel, octagonal with that full length ramp, wow, beautiful. If you take the stock off, you’ll probably find more markings on the bottom side of the barrel to give you more info. Also, when you or your refinisher removes the stock, see if it’s epoxy bedded. Both of my Flaig’s guns are epoxy bedded. Again, Flaig’s knew their stuff. The L61R is a great action, slicker than a Mauser 98, simple, and very strong. How is the trigger? Both of mine had trigger work done to get the pull down to about 1.5 lbs with no creep (on the factory trigger assembly).

A few more questions if you don’t mind: Is it a new acquisition or heirloom piece? Are you going to hunt it or more for collecting?

Trigger is extremely nice, stock is epoxy bedded, not Douglas , think the barrel is Boehler Stahl or Steyr as you suggested , my father owned it for many years, I now own it, I will hunt with it as he did, amazing shooter! Purchased a Swarovski scope today.my mother was left my dads gun collection as sort of a retirement extra income, I purchased from my mother, she wanted to give it to me but I could not allow that

Hey there, LR. Go check out Brian's shop at Lohman Gunsmith. Local dude that's done several water damage restorations as well as full stock repairs. The guys do great work. Can't recommend them enough.

Took barrel down, it is a Bohler Rasant , the seem to have done a good bit of the 1/2 octagon 1/2 round , the lands are the sharpest/ heaviest I have ever seen .

I have a belt sander and some rasps we can get all that fancy stuff off in no time.
