carpetsahib, the stock on that westley patent is real nice i especially like the grip area something that some stock makers dont get right, the alkinet root oil is a beautiful thing i had some fermenting in a bottle for about 10 years , george caswell did sell it at one time, it is probably the most authentic finish but it does not show up as the color that we all like right away it takes some time . i built a 458. in much like the pattern of your westley style rifle very plain i,m working on getting pics posted of some of my stuff ...paul
