Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

Another question. Did you strip all of the original paint off the stock to make it just the carbon black? And if so, did you sand it off or did you use some type of stripper?

When I did mine, I just lightly sanded the area that I wanted to build up. I was able to get to carbon in a couple of spots, but I didn't remove all the paint. I just painted over the paint on the rest of the stock when I did my finish paint.

I sanded off the epoxy I originally had for the grip. I didn’t like the feel of it so I went with the spray on bed liner material that another guy used. I like it a lot more. Then I did a little painting.

Yes, I used acetone with an abrasive sponge.

Has anyone cut into a hunter VG and done inletting for a IIT/Anschultz rail on the fore grip? Is the foam strong enough to hold screws without the CF shell?

How are everyone’s side mounted QD cups still holding out? Anyone have some tips for installing them in the hollow buttstock?
