Webley Omega stock; refinish or not?

[averageplinker]

My .22 Omega stock has a few marks and scratches to the original lacquer. Now should I refinish it or leave it as is?

I think I should refinish it as it already appears "custom" (with a professionally carbined barrel and detacheable muzzle weight) and therefore a refinished stock will compliment it. What do my fellow BBS Omega luvvies think?

Yea refinish it Rich ive done all my beech stocked rifles if you take your time and do a good job they look much better as you can see all the grain underneath that brown lacqure, DO IT ATB Andy

I too would be inclined to do it as the rifle has already enjoyed some modification. I had a similar dilemma with my FWB Sport 127 and will have again with my "soon to arrive" FWB 124, but as my FWB 127 came out good, I have no worries about embarking on the same again . Atb: Gareth W-B.

.....did you oil or varnish your beech stocks?

I always oil finish my stocks, i give them about 5 or 6 coats of either truoil or danish oil but gently rub over the stock with a fine grade wire wool before applying another coat, truoil gives quite a glossy coat where as danish oil gives you more of a satain/matt finish, cheers Andy
