Broken Infinity .22 stock
Hiya,
in januari my mate S. and i decided to take all our Korean airguns to the range.Some Career III 300 s, three Infinity .22 MK1 and Mk2, the 201 and the LBC Infinity 9 mm. http://i.imgur.com/l7K8LDB.jpg At some point S. came to me. 'I dropped yer gun Roel and the the stock broke.' S. is a great guy, and can`t get angry with him. Why should i? He`s not the kinda guy that breaks stocks for fun. http://i.imgur.com/zAC1uB1.jpg Dayum! A broken stock for an Infinity is kinda hard to get by. When i asked Joost, the Dutch Shinsung importer he flushed all my hope down the drain. Forget it Roel. No way there`s a stock available over there. http://i.imgur.com/KxSHxsx.jpg Shite! http://i.imgur.com/fyTDumK.jpg I mailed lotsa stock repairmen over the world. Hardly anyone of `em reacted. They don`t seem to need work i suppose. Over here in the Netherlands there`s one great stock maker. van Breen from guns and gunstocks. He got the stock to repair it. It`s not cheap. Restoring the checkering and colouring the stock after it has been glued were options i didn`t do. Cost me too much money. So i decided to have the stock glued and no more than that. If needed i didn`t mind spray painting the stock black. I was stunned when it got the stock back. Maybe i am easily stunned, dunno that, but i was. http://i.imgur.com/Ed1TaOJ.jpg The glue seems to have the same colour as the dark stripes on the stock. Lucky me. I don`t know how van Breen has done this but the resulsts are great. Seemless and coloured. http://i.imgur.com/BpvhRcV.jpg It`s visible he did some sanding. Looks like some wear of a thumb or such... http://i.imgur.com/QypKSIv.jpg A close up of the checkering. Nearly perfect! http://i.imgur.com/HfSb0mh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/zuRsbUb.jpg A joyeus day having the gun on the track again. Here together with the Career III 300. http://i.imgur.com/k2G7j8D.jpg Best! Roel aka Fokke Mol http://fokkemol.weebly.com/ |
Wow, nice repair for "just" gluing it together. Hows it shooting ?

Hiya Dave,
to be honest me and the gun are a fairly reasonable team. http://i.imgur.com/kuCOviS.jpg The gun was tied to an Aqua Environment regulator te keep the working pressure stabile. Shinsungs are underestimated. They`re accurate as f**k. Best. Roel aka Fokke Mol http://fokkemol.weebly.com/ |
Wow he did great work repairing that stock. Be tough yo get much better than that!
