Beeman A different looking 97K

[bustachip]

First let me thank AGR for pointing me to the dye method and
giving me pointers on how to use it. I was initial ally going to stain it, but I'm glad I went with the dye and polyurethane. It took awhile to do, but I'm happy with my results. I wanted it to be different from the others I've seen, and now I have something different. It may not appeal to some, but I think it's just what I was looking for.
Depending on the inside light or out in the sun, you will see different shades of blues, grays, and pinks. So the pictures don't show all of what I see in person.

The butt pad needs some work that I'll do later
maybe..lol.

I'm probably going to get a different scope for it and put the Airmax 2-7X32 on my new HW30.

Well done. Looks sleek and clean. Bet it really pops in the sun.

That is very nice! The dyed wood is classy as hell. And it does make the colors flash.

 

[Lewis]

Beautiful, and beautifully done!

Love it.

 

[Ranchibi]

WOW! The dye made it look fantastic! Nice work! Definitely a personalized 97!

It's a Rowan, back when they only sold bare aluminum, so I painted it matte black and covered it with matte clear enamel. Now they have black finished ones, but they're glossy.

Really really nice! Looks like a bluish dye? I have a couple of beater beech stocks I'd like to try dying. I agree with BABz58 about the butt pad. A nice black pad with no white line spacer would be sharp. Or an adjustable pad....made my 97 shoulder nicer.

Better than that....I'll show you how I install them! It's from Bisley and I did not cut my stock. Makes the LOP a bit longer than factory but still works fine for me.

Try again. The link opens a discussion I had on Aug 1 with someone. In that discussion is the link that opens the tutorial. Otherwise couldn't seem to get straight to the tutorial. Sorry. I sent you a PM with the link as well.

Yes it's a navy color dye.

AGR asking about the trigger guard. All the stuff is from Rowan, the trigger guard, the cocking handle grip, and the straight set back trigger blade. Also when I get a nice sunny day I will take some outside pics and post them here. It's been raining here a couple of day, tomorrow as well.

Can you point me to the dye method you used? Looks phenomenal and I’d love to give that a whirl on my R7 beech stock.
