Thanks, It wood is looking better now that I cleaned and steamed the dents.

Let me give you some advice on the stocks. I have done five now this way and they are all absolutely beautiful.

Here is a thread I just made about the process:

Its a very good looking gem in the rough, little BLO or tung oil, and i think that stock will stand out great. (maybe a little steaming too)

that grain will really add some character

Very nice.

Do you know where one can get an original scope mount, not a repro one?
