Do you sell your services?  I have several stocks I need seen to in a checkered kind of way.

It was a good concept "self cocking" but, as Duck said, that type of valve causes the trigger/sear weight to increase as the pressure increases. The old Sharp Innova and Puma pumpers were like that, so are the newer Webley Rebel rifles. "Knock-open" valves I think they are called. like propping a window open (up) with a wooden ruler, easy to kock out the ruler and let the window shut under it's own weight, hard to do if I'm pulling down on that window with my 200 lbs.

Thanks guys! Its all sanded and now stained.

Stock looks very nice, CW. How are you preventing the finish from filling in the grooves of the checkered panels?
