Thanks guys
I'm planning on using danish oil. I have a little more than a quart of it already for knife handles. I'll see what it looks like in the channel that the barrel lies in with no stain. I really like the deep red look that a lot of the guns at the log cabin shop had though.
The stock I have is kind of a gray, just a little darker than maple, with a nice grain. I'll see what it looks like a with a little sanding, and the oil. I think its going to take some stain to get it to really look nice though.

I'll check out that antique wood stain if I decide to use some. It sounds like just what I'm looking for. Thanks.
