Meh, patience and work is your friend.
Truoil is good but nothing can take a refinish like hotting it again with oil.
The natural oils patina way nicer.

You can touch up with tru oil easy peezy. The thinned mix soaks in really well. As it drys and you add more coats it builds into a nice, tough finish.
if you want, take the Swede paint off and put the oil on, then you could put the paint back on the head to protect the steel. It is an oil based paint I am pretty sure.

Dude you fail to see the real me.....have you seen my "I think I need a camera thread"? For fuck sake dont look at my LRI rifle build thread your head will explode.
If someone tells me something that is absolutely common sense and practical I have a gene that makes me do the opposite.
Im the type of idiot that would get custom scales made for a cheap knife.
But than it wont have that DNA Sven Svenson left on it back in the 40s..........
My Hults Bruk is my clear handle ax......this is my special forces recon ax.
This will be my once a year camp in the woods with every possible convenience ax.
The Tung oil one is a Remington stock on one of the Chuck MaWhinney over run .308 M40
The Linseed oil is a Kyle Taylor that Raven Rifles built to be a .223 M40. Kyle has been on a milk carton as of late, hope he s well.
There is a seller on eBay......this guy....
He puts out a very nice copy of a USMC stock every couple weeks.
I have two of his stocks at LRI......
Gunsmithing - Remington 700 DBM opinions from guys that put them in.....and use them.
Lots of options out there. Lots of opinions. Figured Id ask here amongst the people that install them in hopes of finding out what is preferred as far as ease of fitting and just plain works for the customer. My build is going to be a wood stocked R700 in .308. Kind of an M40esque heavy...

Bought the second one as I wanted the M40 profile. Gonna be a bad mofo as a DBM M40.
Added Some overstrike 550.
No more messing with perfection.

Marty at Badger Ordinance was the generous one that made those rifles available.
Remington had made twenty extra rifles during production.
I think the total MaWhinney run was 103 numbered rifles and the twenty extras in case something happened to one of the 103.
Just wondering if there's any additional axes that have become available?

Hi all,
I have been really busy and my source in Sweden doesn't seem to have many more. The ones he does have are very good, but not quite as good as the very best ones he used to have.
I could probably do another order, but let me see what exactly he has before I make any promises.
I am VERY busy right now, so no promises, but I'll check into it as I have time.

Let it be clear, I was just asking. The OP has not addressed this thread for some time. My guess is that he doesn't have anything to offer for sale.
Two posts above yours.
Also @MK20 we can wait. We're gun people. That's what we do. Some might complain but we can all wait.

I was also in for one last time and would definitely be in for one if there would be another round.
I had asked for one back on page 1 but never heard back. Would still be up for one if you do another order.
Thanks!
Thanks!
In…. Still looking for a smaller head with extended lug like the one I picked in the first round, but never had a chance to go for…. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

I have a standing request with my Swedish contact in case he gets more in. He is completely sold out right now and doesn't know when he will get more in.
Also, I know a place where I can get more heads and axes but exactly what type I get is dependant on what they have at the time I can make it over there. I can also get old logging tools of all types.
If I get more axes I will post a notice in the thread and will list them separately with a price on them and the first "I'll take it" gets the axe, just like normal PX rules.
Based on interest expressed here already I will get as many as I can cause you guys seem to like them
Just be aware, prices will be higher due to inflation, difficulty of getting the tools now, and shipping costs which have gone up a lot.
It will take a couple months at least for me to get anything from either of my suppliers.
I haven't forgot you guys.

My full size 4 to 5 lb felling axe. Hand forged. This is the type of quality I will be listing in the future.
