Used antique wood stain from track of the wolf, Honey maple and got the stock all stripped down and fine sanded today. Got a total of 5 coats of honey maple on her and i think that will be plenty.

I may actually try 3 coats of antique finish " hand rubbed stuff" on it and see how that looks. If it doesnt work out well, i can always go over it with Truoil for a solid finish and just buff the shine down.

Now to order some browning and bluing solution for the rest of the metal. Not sure what i will go with so i will just work the metal smooth and decide what to do when the supplies arrive.

Cant wait to get her all put back together!
