I bought a second stock for my Anschutz 54 many years ago so I could convert it for a bench rest stock . Having reshaped the fore end and adding some width and a flat base , with the tip angled and an aluminium plate added , next was to make the butt stock longer and narrower with a thick aluminium butt plate .
The stock then became a bit of a monster size wise , so after several years of wear on the satin black paint it started to look a bit beaten and drab , so time for a face lift .
First off I cut about 2 1/2" off the fore end and 2" off the butt stock , I narrowed and rounded the sides of the forearm .
Then refitted the aluminium butt plate with a plastic spacer , then to give it a bit of a Tacticool look removed a section from the bottom of the stock .
As the paint was now the worse for wear out came the Nitromors , the modern weak stuff as its now very PC , no fumes to get high on . scrubbed it down with warm water and a scotchbrite pad , left it to dry for 24 hours , then sand away for a nice smooth finish .
Two coats of red oxide primer followed by an all over , more or less , pale green and 4 different shades of green lightly sprayed in patches for a subtle camo effect .
Topped off with 2 coats of matt clear coat , which is more satin in looks .
Well there you have it one modified stock ,

Re: Anschutz 54 stock modifications
Its all down to the nut behind the butt , the rifle is accurate enough whatever coat its wearing its just the guy with the finger on the trigger that needs to be more accurate . I just enjoy doing work on stocks , I did glass bed it as well .
