Finished up the inlet for a Zastava action with a Timney FW Deluxe trigger and commercial(release in bow) bottom metal. Barrel is a stepped 30" tube from a Brazil '08(FN made) chambered in 7mm Gibbs. Bedded with PC7 epoxy and a PTG pillar in the back. Sanded to 1500 grit and gave it 4 coats of BLO. Think he's going to like the stock.

Just BLO for now, going to give it a once over with some paste wax before I put it together(wanted to use spar urethane for a top coat, but he didn't want that).
