New Project: Custom 10/22 Target Rifle

More profiling of the cheek rest, getting closer to the final shape



More sanding on the opposite side, the body filler shrinks when it dries so I'll need to add another layer



building up and blending the bottom of the stock, we are trying to get it flat and turn the step at the left into a smooth ramp



The transition at the front of the comb is almost done

More progress, the shape is finally done, now I need to smooth the body filler and remove the scratches




The stock was pretty close, so it is time to put our first coat of high build primer on, then we will look for scratches, glue lines and imperfections that we can fix

The light pink stuff is standard body filler, the darker pink stuff is spot putty









Rinse, lather, repeat.....



I think it is finally ready for paint, in the next installment we will coat the stock with paint and assemble

I am going to use Rust-Oleum semi-gloss white as the base coat, I am not sure a base coat is needed, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
I'll follow the base coat with the Rust-Oleum pearl mist and then a Krylon satin clear coat



Here is the 1st coat of white semi-gloss, after two coats I will wet sand and then add the Pearl Mist coats



After two coats of white base, 3 coats of pearl mist and 2 coats of satin clear, the stock is ready for assembly.
