you really do hate those raised cheek pieces don't you???? lol looks nice though? are you going to apply stain? or is that it? looks really good.

Raised Cheek pieces most of the time are just unnecesary extra wood, and if done properly are a beautifull feature, but when not done properly are an eyesore  ;)


The stock is done, the wood wasn't sanding good enought to risk staining, so I just finished it with TRU OIL ,,it will darken nicely with time  ;D

really does look much better than the stock finish. I saw on a few times and that high gloss finish makes it look like its made of plastic lol...

I dont care for thumb hole stocks but you are right about some modles having to high of a comb. The B-26-2 was the one I hated..:) the most and immediatly replaced the stock with a standar sporter stock.. The new Crosman NPSS and NT series thumbhole stocks have to low a comb for me..:) I have to use a pad on top the comb to find my sweet spot, but also the scope and mounts have allot to do with that as well. I guess I am picky but I like picky...:)

Again Manny you have done a great job, I like the way you remove the cheek piece an keep the comb in place,you got a good eye for wood working for sure.
