I recently bought myself a second hand CZ zkk 600 in 30-06 and would like to refinish the stock.
The current, I assume factory, finish is a thick lacquer of some sort that I don't care for. The wood is very light with some random figure and what looks to be some nice silking. I'm hoping that hand rubbed oil finish will be more attractive and bring out the silking somewhat.
I have also bought a Pachmyr recoil pad to replace the existing plastic butt plate.
My question is to do with the recommended order of things , so far I have this planned:
Remove barreled action and all fittings (swivel studs and butt plate)
Strip the old finish
Sand lightly
Apply the new finish
What I don't know is when would be best to fit the grind to fit recoil pad. Before or after sanding and before or after applying the new finish.
The finish that I have, and where I am options are limited, is "Schaftol" a BLO based product. Will this finish damage or affect the recoil pad at all?
Look forward to some expert advise here.
Thanks
