Thanks guys - seem to do mostly rimfire shooting these days and its enjoyable finding inexpensive worker .22s which you won't mind bumping round the truck some, but are capable of top end accuracy. There are a few out there.
And regarding fine bead blasting of stocks, friend just showed me the old Marlin he did today and it was stripped clean ready for sanding/finishing within 3 minutes. That'll be the last stock I hand strip. I think you'd need to be careful with softer woods but you can then blast slower from further away. Wish I'd known this years ago....!
