Today, I refinished the rifles stock, looks like it once had the wrist chequered but has had so much use it is worn away to only a faint mark or two. Someone had varnished the stock so I wiped it clean with steel wool and acetone, then over the steaming kettle to raise the grain only, l have not tried to remove any dings or nicks as they are all part of the story. I have now given it a few coats of of hand rubbed pale boiled linseed and gum turpentine and it has come up a treat. The wood is ver plain but has a lovely colour. Lovely soft feel to the stock and it is thirsty. I would say this rifle has had a long hard career and if only it could speak of the adventures its been part of. I have a nice sling and j hook sling swivels coming so that should sort her out nicely. Looking forward to one day taking her out after game.
