How to go about "antiquing" my MPG-44 stock and grip?
I just picked up the MPG-44 .22LR and love it.
However, the one thing I am not a fan of is the wood stock and grip. They just look too darn new! Anyone know how to go about making them look more worn or period correct? I guess one would call it giving the wood an "Antique" look? |

Rope and a mile down a dirt road....
Or how they 'antique' guitars, is usually with a large key ring with a lot of keys and whack it to dent it and craze the finish. I had a nice pool stick commonly called a 'sneaky pete' which is actually a very nice quality 2 piece pool stick that **LOOKS** like a house cue.... It was way too pretty to be mistaken for an actual bar cue so I beat up the handle real good so it would blend in better. The shaft was perfect glass smooth though. I know I did a good job when I turned my back for a second, and my stick was sitting in the bucket of house cues..... Got real hard to keep track of my $140 stick after that though.... Heavy key ring and a belt hitting it with the buckle- goes a long way fast. Thats part of how fender guitars antiques brand new guitars as well. THough they have someone whose full time job is to beat up new guitars in a certain way with a lot more tricks than that..... |

New, it probably looks just like the original issue from the German factory in WWII. Wouldn't do a thing to it if it were mine, but hey that's just my opinion. Do what makes it right for you. That's what ownership is all about.
