I once took one of those hardwood stocks and sanded it down to a nice slim profile and just gave it an oil finish with no stain. It turned out really nice with the plain blonde wood stock. Just a thought.
I like the cheesy lines and squirrels!

Here’s a few midway pictures… the metal is cleaning up great! They sure don’t make them like they used to. The stock is stained and drying……

Well, it’s all cleaned up. I’m leaving the stock with a few dings and marks. It is now a serviceable, clean, lubed range ready 22.

Fine looking rifle. You did it justice. Better than I could for sure, a few dings show character, it's been used not hanging on a wall or in a safe.
