Sure am Tom but iv opted for a bark brown stain That has a touch of red in it this time That's what I was told any way Still a long way to go on the stock yet smoothing it out takes ages lol But I'm in no rush Atvbjimmy 1 Quote Link to post

Baldcoot 2,352 Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 You do a terrible job Jimmy ,let me hide it for you . In my safe for a few years . Seriously you could do this for a living, your knowledge of blueing and retreating stocks is quality . Looks like someone is going have a gorgeous rifle to use and I'm not jealous at all 1 Quote Link to post
