I decided a while ago that I was going to sand down the forearm of the B&C stock. I sanded it down with a belt sander. After getting past the fiberglass shell, you can plainly see the material underneath. Here, you can see the voids of the substrate material. I also slimmed up some of the grip area to better fit my hand.
I decided afterward, I didn't like the feel of the slimmer forearm. It felt too skinny in the hand and I couldn't get a good grip on it. So I then started building up the forearm with fiberglass and PC7 epoxy. I then flared and shaped the forearm.
The project sat for a while because I had just started respiratory school. I finally got around to picking it up this week again. I shot the stock with some primer and a base coat of paint.
Today, I sanded off some of the paint, and applied a texture along the grip and forearm. I am shooting it in flat tan tomorrow. More pics to come.
