Haenel 303-Super--Still Stripping the Stock

Just a quick post. Been working at the job and neglecting the airguns this week. I've barely found time to sand a few more areas of the stock.

This is where the orbital sander got things.

Continued with the 100 grit garnet paper and hand sanded the rest of the varnish off.

It's pretty thin. It's all right on top of the wood--which is working in my favor for a change.

I do have a couple small detail sanders, they're out on loan to my sister.



Still unsure what to do with the factory stippling. I've got a few ideas I'm considering.



I left the Morgan buttpad decision up to Nick. He says to keep the factory pad since it's in perfect shape. I'll gladly defer to his opinion--especially since it means I don't have to do any additional fitting--or sanding.

I know what I want this stock to look like, I'm trying to figure out how to get there.

More soon.
