The stock on my Mauser project gives the appearance of having been left out in the rain. It had a nice finish on it, but there are parts of the fore-end where the grain is raised.
My goal is to end up with a deer rifle for the late season, a true Gefrierschrank-fillergewehr. It will also function as the camp's designated loaner. If you had to ask me a preference, I'd say I would like to see a Winchester Red color and a finish that is fairly weather resistant and easy to repair.
My question to y'all is how to proceed.
