Jag, I found a polyurethane I like... It is SEVERE DUTY... planned as "stair and tread" or some such term.

When dry it almost looks, to me, like a hand oiled look enuff...

It don't have that cheesy ol' shiny polyurethane look.

Having an ol' dad who likes to tinker with wood and finish has me some good tips and help available. One thing he does is thin the first coat down like water so it soaks in the grain rel well... this is required when wood with a tight grin has been super fine sanded like to 1,000 as I plan.

But my gun was bought as a service arm and is far from "pristine" to begin with...
