Mcmillan stock question ???

[skeetlee]

I have been told that i need to have an automotive clear coat put on my mcmillan stocks to make them look nicer. I am ok with that but i am afraid that the scratches will still show. does anyone have any first hand experience with what i am talking about? Thanks Lee

High grit sandpaper and elbow grease will polish it right up. No need for clearcoat unless your lazy.

Any high polish surface will scratch easily.

Guys, i polish them with buffer after you sand them,use a sanding block.then buff,i use canopy cleaner the stuff to take the scratches out airplane Plexiglas. If you use paint or clear,you will have to use stock tape or the cordura on the bags will scratch the paint,or when you bump a concrete bench..............jim

I use wet/dry sandpaper under the dripping faucet. Start with 400 grit, using a block, and end up with 1500. Gives you the clear coat look without the upkeep.

I have been using buffing and polishing compounds on my cloth wheel in the grinder. It is working pretty good but i went a little to far in one spot. I still see the scratches and i am afraid to go any further or i will be into the tape. Lee
