I refinished the stock the old fashioned way, hand rubbed Tung seed oil. Used three coats, requires at least a day between coats to dry. The stain is Minwax Gunstock. Found some neat things after I removed the original varnish like the Swiss crest on the right side of the buttstock and armourers proofs at the tip of the handguard.
