Little story on that rifle. Early on the finish had many cracks in it. I never bothered doing anything about it.

We were burglerized and several of my rifles and shotguns were stolen. A month or so later they caught the guy. He had sold the guns to a gunshop. Cops went to the gun shop and recovered all the guns including those the guy sold. The gun dealer was going to refinish the stock and had striped the finish. All I had to do was finish it. The gun dealer was pissed but that is what happens when you buy stolen property.
