Just got a greek rack grade form the CMP and the reciever moves a little while seated in the stock. It only moves about 1/16th of an inch but it is noticable. Any suggestions for repair? Here is a pick - my lab is a camera hog:

2 options: 1. Glass bed the stock, problem solved, but the gun will not be legal for some "as issued" garand matches. 2. Get a boyd's stock from Midway. On sale now for about $80 A loose stock will soon crack, first crack will be near the clip latch, then you will get one neat the front of the trigger group. |

If you enjoy working the wood, you can buy an un finished Boyd directly from the factory. I got one from Midway, and didn't like the finish. They (factory) wipe the stock down with black die, then put some kind of psudo oil finish on it. I stripped, sanded and then used tung oil. MUCH better IMHO. |
Where can I get Tung oil? Will places like Home Depot or Lowes have it? |

I found tung oil at an independant hardware store, ace or true value, can't remember. Got it 12 years ago, a little goes a long way. you can get it (click here for tung oil) |
