So that’s a no on your ability to turn the Mauser stock the same color as an original without stain, lol

“Consanguinity”
You said UV light will naturally turn the stock brown, your wrong. You posted about the stock finish, age and care. The post was for the both of you I’m not quoting separate posts to say the same thing. Read my post out loud to each other and pick out the parts you think apply to you. Bottom line neither of you can, or ever would be able to make the stock in the picture look the same as the original WITH OUT stain period. You could not and cannot understand or answer the original question of the thread. You have used this thread to try and work thru the trauma you suffered at the hands of the stain salesman. This is not the place to work on your stain phobia.
