ok the stock is about 85% finished. Tomorrow i am going to reshape the bottom of the wrist section of stock and round it off rather than make it square. Also going to clean up the lock area as well for a little more shape.

Used straight Truoil on the forearm just to test for color... Ooooooh yeah! No stain needed and beautiful wood pattern. Can't wait to get the stock all finished up, the wood is gorgeous throughout and with no stain, its going to pop out right at you.

Barrel and all metal trim WILL get a nice deep plum brown theme. Blue just looks boring and every day on these rifles.
