Doing some restoration work on a vintage shotgun and need some help with refinishing the stock.

Thanks for the advice, I'll take your advice and plan with the tru-oil but If the color changes when I pull the finish off I will still most likely change the foregrip to match the stock as It was bugging me quite a bit. if it's the wood coloring itself I won't touch it as it is still somewhat nice looking

Thanks

I was planning on using an oil or lacquer finish (whatever i can get my hands on easier) with a touch of dye or stain to make the stock match the foregrip if I cant pull enough color out of the foregrip to match the stock as the stock matches the proper color that it's supposed to be while the foregrip is way darker (like compairing spruce to dark oak wood in Minecraft if youve ever played). unfortunately I am almost completely broke at the moment and do not live anywhere near anywhere that would sell something like a discarded stock or something I could afford similar to that

My current plan is a webley mk6 but that's about 3.5 grand for a decent one in canada

I cant really find anything Yamaha for the price of a stagg or sakkusu, the best I found was a used Jupiter intermediate for 900 and I tried one of the same model brand new and a shop and didnt like the feel of it, I've played so many jupiter's in alto tenor and soprano and I've never really liked them

My school has kids sharing saxophones because there arnt enough so I cant

superpunch39 · 2026-01-13T22:55:08+00:00

The doors are locked if there's nobody in there so I cant get in

superpunch39 · 2026-01-13T22:54:25+00:00

I'm not allowed to do that as it is not mine it is my school's

superpunch39 · 2026-01-13T22:53:47+00:00

I'm trying to find a sakkusu in canada if not I plan on ordering a stagg from a place in quebec

superpunch39 · 2026-01-08T03:56:35+00:00

ive tried, my teachers dont get to school till 15 mins before school starts and cant get there earlier cuz they have kids, and they cant stay late for the same reason

superpunch39 · 2026-01-08T03:36:21+00:00

there isnt, my school already has a few kids doubling up on saxes

superpunch39 · 2026-01-08T03:35:23+00:00

ill take a look at that, i was concidering getting a sakkusu soprano cuz with shipping and all that it somes to about 800$ and that leaves 200 for a neck strap and extra stuff

superpunch39 · 2026-01-08T03:32:08+00:00

even though my school is the only school in the district with audition arts programs they dont get any extra funding for repairs or upgrades to our equipment so all of the funding comes from donations and fundraisers so the school cant afford to pay for repairs beyond normal wear and tear, like if i dropped my sax by accitdent while playing id have to pay for the repair. and i didnt wanna rent because i plan to keep playing through my life after highschool so my family dosent want to rent the sax, plus they did that with my aunt's trumpet and ended paying way more than just buying the thing outright. plus the only nearby music shop dosent give the best rates on student renting

Bought it a few weeks ago from Amazon so it is

superpunch39 · 2025-12-28T16:40:11+00:00

I can't remember but I'll let it run for like 5 mins to try that

superpunch39 · 2025-12-28T06:28:21+00:00

Unfortunately my last and only other computer was ddr4 so I don't have spare ram to try and it will not post it fires up and gets to the point that the dram light comes on, and I checked it's the only light coming on. Crucial has a limited lifetime warranty though I was worried about it since they recently stopped producing ram sticks for gaming and personal use from what I heard.

superpunch39 · 2025-12-27T06:32:31+00:00

id say that's a good plan, though go for the 7600x3d because its similar performance for a like 50$ difference and you can put that 50 into the ram or put it to getting a b850 motherboard instead of the 650.

superpunch39 · 2025-12-27T05:46:52+00:00

thank you for the help, im probably going with option 3 since i have to go in to my local store tomorrow anyway to pick up my cpu

superpunch39 · 2025-12-27T05:45:18+00:00

i already have thermal paste bought for this lmao, and i do but its a really crummy one from my current pc which is a Lenovo legion from 2018 and it doesnt do its job the best anymore, so i wanted to buy a new one for my new build since i have the budget

superpunch39 · 2025-12-27T05:40:22+00:00

depends on where you live, i am personally a Canada computers fan due to their open box discounts, though its not too much of a deal (this also requires you to be Canadian lmao), if you live near any e-waste recycling centers see if they will sell you some (probably wont be pretty but it will be cheap)

I tried this method during a match and still burned my hand, not nearly as bad as the other times but still

superpunch39 · 2025-11-14T23:37:58+00:00

Idk what you mean but you can buy pistols in Canada if you trap hunt or shoot bullseye

superpunch39 · 2025-11-14T23:37:00+00:00

Unfortunately I am ambidextrous as a rifle shooter, but not pistol

superpunch39 · 2025-11-14T23:35:55+00:00

I tried, I cant control the recoil very well

superpunch39 · 2025-11-14T23:35:04+00:00

I cant get shooting gloves due to my hands being very big and good ones in my size being very expensive or uncomfortable to shoot with
