Ok,I had to get aproval before I posted from the owner.

This was a older BEAR on the side .177 that was built to shoot 10.3 pellets. Its been striped re blued a satin finish and a custom spring as well as top hat and new seals. Acording to the owner he is hitting 50 yard 3 inch spinners consistently.

Custom muzzle brake and hood sight set up for factory irons.

Refinish beech stock to a ebony finish and Satin re blue.

Pillars added to the forearm bolts.

Re choked and crowned.

Cocks as his words, “ like a Hw 50, but hits like a normal R1“

Stock was stripped, a iron oxide solution was used to water pop and dyed with black aniline dye.

A factory finish was the goal but black ebony .. Checkering was chased but sprayed to give factory look of original Beeman Goudy stocks.

15 ft lbs and fun gun to use. I Knew it was a shooter as I sighted with irons before shipping ..Holding three shot groups at 15 yards all touching and I’m NOT a iron sight guy.

Use a scotch bright and stripper with rubber gloves.
Use a tooth brush from your wife to clean the Checkering. Return it when done.


lacquer thinner with scotch bright whole stock. re use wife’s toothbrush with thinner in Checkering ..of course ,return it

You will never get the beech pure white. It don’t matter when re dying. That ebony needed a iron oxide water pop ( vinegar, steel wool, peroxide, set in a jar to age two weeks before using ) that changed the color of wood to a dark charcoal to keep the black dye uniform And deep black..

A spray on Finnish is used to get factory look. Checkering is taped and coated only on last coat.
