I bought this one for a very low price. The owner did not take the stock off of the action when spraying carb cleaner on it to remove the cosmoline. I sanded the stock to fairly smooth, added a touch of water based stain, then several coats of TruOil for some shine. I added two more coats of the oil since the picture. I looks real pretty.

Note I have 4 more in the same condition they were in when they came out of the crate minus the cosmoline.
