After 6 or 7 years of dragging my feet on this project, I finally got the wood to metal fit where I’m happy and can send The metal off for bluing. I can finally do the finish work on the stock, which is what I like. So with a a nice sunny day and a little dash of mineral spirits I wanted to get a look at the wood, which I haven’t done in years.
Husqvarna Mauser 6.5x55, Shilen barrel. Haven’t decided on recoil pad color yet.
