Hey all, first off thanks for the help on my last post- within a day had all the help I needed & then some! Anyways, today I have a question w/ an interesting story...
So I was originally planning to sell my Black Knight (thought it was Mk85 but after that post realized it is not!) but figured I should buy a replacement screw for it to make it more sellable. While I was looking for the part, I found a really nice stock on Numrich that would fit on it for $50- at which point I decided to keep the rifle altogether! I purchased the stock, but 3 days later I received an email saying they were out of stock(s) and subsequently got my money back into my account. Another day later I randomly decided to check their website again and saw the stock wasn't listed as sold out, so I decided to buy it again anyways because hey, why not? A couple more days later I checked my account and the money was put back into it again, but without a refund issued. Today though something truly unexpected happened- the stock arrived in the mail!!! No idea what happened there, but I'll take it! God works in mysterious (and awesome) ways!! rayer: rayer:
So that being said, right now I have an unfinished black walnut stock that (from the descprition online) is universal to most muzzleloaders. My questions are: Has anyone had experience with these, if so what did you do to finish it and what kind of sand paper did you use, and what did you use to laminate it? There are some oil spots on it, will sand paper take them out? If you got one for a Black Knight, what kind of fitting, if any, was needed for it? Further more, how does one dissasemble a Black Knight from the stock? Any and all tips and advice are welcome and greatly appreciated, thanks!!
