Mog Report post Posted September 8, 2023 Hi, we have an old sporterized H&K .223 that could use a good refinishing on the stock, who would you trust to perform that work and any ideas on a ballpark cost? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted September 8, 2023 Its pretty easy to do a nice oil finish if you don't mind taking the time to do it. Just an hour or so every couple of days. I don't know of anyone anymore. The guys I knew all retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saguaro Report post Posted September 8, 2023 You can definitely do it yourself. If it turns out like garbage, you can probably get a new stock for a few hundred more than someone would likely charge to refinish. Keep the old one and it can be used as a template for a stock maker somewhere. I did a model 60 marlin on my own and it was pure junk. Almost to the point of throwing it away. That’s why I decided to try it out. If it turned out bad. No big deal, I’ll just toss it. Lots of videos on YouTube to help you out. Watch plenty before you do it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
