I had a buddy take his stock and b/a to get cerakoted by a man who supposedly makes a living doing it... I saw some of his previous work and it looked pretty good. After getting it back, this cat will starve before too long if this is his only source of income. The b/a wasn't terrible but had some issues. The stock is what blew my mind... I have no clue how somebody could even send this back to a customer. This WAS a blemish free other than rattle canned, hs stock off of an LTR.
The b/a will go into the stock and flop and turn like you've never seen before. Where he had voids after sandblasting or whatever he done to this stock, I smeared bondo in the them. Tap tally reshaped the stock... Terrible job to say the least... After his silly putty job, he primered the stock. His tape job on the recoil pad was also mind blowing.
I could scrape what he called "cerakote" off with my thumbnail with hardly any pressure at all.

To make a long story short, he needs another stock. He needs this stock with bdl cutout or something similar. He doesn't want a palm swell. He's tight on money but I'm willing to help him out a little to get his rifle right.
Need rem 700 s/a
Right hand
Bdl cut
Varmint channel

let me know what you have.

Thanks, pat!
 
Spray paint the stock foliage and bed the stock so he can use it for the season?

the tang Area has so much bondo in it that it sits so it won't sit flush in the stock. I know bedding would help that but the aluminum block has almost been blasted out of the stock entirely and bondo has been used there to make it look somewhat ok. I believe he may have actually blew it out and reset it in the action area of the stock. I mean this stock is pitiful... lol
 
If the fella that worked on that stock is answering his phone I would tell him he needs to pay for a new one. Send him the link of what he needs to pay for and ship to you.

If he isn't gonna make it right.... well social media will help with that and make sure you put his name out so others don't fall into the same trap!

hope your buddy can get squared away before rifle season!
 
He's answering the phone but isn't wanting to replace it. He said he could fill the voids in and recoat it. What would be the point in a retry? If it looked like this after 1 attempt, I couldn't imagine the second one...

well I think I'd go ahead and make sure pics of his work are posted in every hunting forum and FB shooting group that you're in...

Has someone on here been able to get yall sorted out with a new stock?
