Nice rainy day to work in the shop on a couple of my T44 projects. Received 2 T44 stocks from Dupage and decided they would be a nice home for them. T44 receivers are from Bula Defense Systems a couple of years ago. Built these two up using I each USGI SA and Winchester kits including barrels, bolts, oprods, trigger groups and other assorted small parts that came with the kits so they are close to complete for each mfg.
Removed all hardware from the stocks, sanded lightly and covered both with 2 coats of 50-50 BLO and paint thinner. Rubbed in for 3 days and sanded with 400 grit before complete drying. Set another day and sanded with 600 grit to complete the desired look and feel.
Fitted the stock liners to the receiver legs this morning. Hope to get the hardware back on the stocks today and pop the rifles into their new wood.
Liner fitting:
1. Shows that the liners will not fit down on receiver legs.
2. Removing material from front of stock liner to fit.
3. Fitted liner should sit completely down on leg with some pressure for a tight fit.
4. Application of 40/40 bluing and then oiling completes the liners for stock re-assembly.
5. Stock waiting assemble after finishing with BLO.
