That is a beautiful stock to me. What is it? It looks like hand rubbed oil in the photo. My be my nostalgia meter pegged, but I like it

Mongrel,
That is a stock I made myself from Oregon black walnut, the finish is thinned epoxy applied to a heated stock blank... helps the epoxy soak in. Then it is wet sanded and a few coats of oil applied on top.
Makes for a traditional yet weatherproof finish. The metal on that rifle is graphite black Ceracote...


Did you have the action reheat treated or hardened on 1909 or ran it as is? Nice rifle by the way.
