Pope Stock Repair

I got the stock back from being repaired. Excellent job. I will be doing a touch up with most likely Wipe On Poly just to blend the glossy finish. I had to hog out the upper buttplate screw that was rusted in place it entire length. I will be installing a short 3/8” predrilled plug. I just spent more time chipping rust from the underside of the buttplate. I hope to take it to the range again this week.

The stock repair was done by Gary Dunkelberger, gnoahhh on this forum.  Another one of the fine craftsmen present here.  Here is a picture of him working on it.

Oh, pshaw. (As he shuffles his feet in embarrassment. Roll Eyes )

That is most assuredly not a picture of me. Twenty years ago, yes, but not currently. Smiley

An incredible save. I wish I was talented enough to fully appreciate how difficult that must have been.
