Heres what it looked like from the factory.

And here it is after i stripped it and refinished the stock, along with bleaching the barrel and lock.



Now im just taking care of those dry spots i found. I checked this morning and it looks great. Im still going to add 7 or more coats to it to make sure and then i'll use birch wood casey to dull out the real shiny gloss. Buy some new brass tacks, cut them down and then install them into the stock and im finished.
