Nice, you can watch the stock darken as you work on it!
-
Sure is nice to work outside.
The sun really makes any imperfect spots easy to see.
Hit with alittle sandpaper, all gone.
Hoping for oil today :pray:

A before and after test.
Kevin
-
what were you testing?
-
The oil color. Tested on the patch box cover compared to the sanded stock.
Thinking about adding a tint to the final coat of oil.
???? Maybe.
Just to darken things alittle but I know it will age on its own.

I'd let it age on it's own, Kevin. no need to hurry it. it's going to be beautiful.

Right on ✊
It's done no more fussin. The stock has a nice satin finish.
disassembled and polished the lock , waiting on Amazon ( friday) then I will black the trigger assembly and the lock and barrel.
Pretty sure the brass will stay brass and let it mellow with use.
40 round shoot coming up in a few weeks + probably one more rondy end of the month in Oregon.
That oughta breaker her in.
