Ooh! Can you expand on how to add cheek riser to the factory 783 stock like that?

I'd really like to add something like that to at least two of my rifles.

A 783, and a Savage 93R17.

Here is a thread on this particular cheek riser. It was very easy to install. If you have questions, feel free to PM me.

Cheek riser bargain.

Quick heads up (pun intended) I just found these & they seem like a hell of a deal if you're wanting to avoid kydex. I just ordered 2. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145494600411?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gnSuERNoRVu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=iDuv8uDWSwO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Do you remember if you used khaki or sand for the tan tone?

Probably 80% of the tan coloring is khaki and the rest was sand randomly blended in. The sand is a little bright for my tastes

Going to have to sponge paint my stock now...

My sons and I had some fun sponge painting this MRC (sure does need a Rokstok).

Pretty simple process:

1. Remove barreled action
2. Prep surface
3. Sponge paint
4. Several light layers of clear coat (optional)
5. Re-assemble

Is there any special type of paint and clear coat that should be used for durability?

Any ideas on how to copy that older NULA stripe camo?

I’ve used both Krylon and rustoleum on many stocks without any issue. I like to use a flat or a matte paint and also a flat or matte finish. If you take your time with a good, quality prep(sanding and wiping with acetone). Your paint will bond well. Once I like the look of the finish paint, I will spray 5-7 coats of clear. Some of my stocks have been though a lot and have held up great.
If a factory stock is tan, I’ll spray it with a flat black bonding primer before doing sponge work.

Used Rustoleum Desert Bisque sand texture spray paint. it is recommended to use a Krylon primer prior to final Rustoleum paint.

I know that this is regarding an older post, but any particular reason why a Krylon primer before using a Rustoleum paint and not a Rustoleum primer? TIA.

Krylon seems to stick to the Tupperware stocks better. Of course proper preparation is essential. MTG
