Thank you for the compliment JDL. I stripped the whole rifle, cleaned all the parts properly. Then took time to get all the old oil out of the stock. Then steamed out all the small dents, and then a light sanding, starting with 120grit all the way to 600grit.
Then came the Tru oil part... That takes time. The stock has about 6 coats on, after the 3rd coat i wet sand with 1200grit paper, leave it to dry and then the next coat Tru oil. If you want a matt finish, just use super fine steel wool after the last coat, but be careful not to apply pressure, as it will make streak marks, and then you need to start over again.
All the metal parts was lightly hot blued in a tank.
