On a side note, my uncle had an old ruger centerfire bolt action with a wood stock with all the attractiveness of a 2X4. So he painted it a medium flat green with floor paint or some such thing. Anyway, it looks nice was very easy and lasts a very long time. He must have put it in an air gun or found a spray can because there are no brush marks or drips. If you didn' t know better you might think the stock came that way.
