More Wood
The butt and grip are Blue Monster, hand.guards from HBR. The recoil pad is one of the new gel types, hey I'm gettin' old and even more skinny, so I need the help. This is the first coat of oil. It's also the first recoil pad I've fitted in 30 years or so. Still remembered how.

ETA: I told Rich I was going to add a recoil pad to this stock so it was flat cut at the rear and the length adjusted accordingly. Isn't it nice to deal with somebody makes things the way YOU want it instead of just what is in a catalog?

I just bought these off GB for too much money and started re-finishing them. Rich is making a matching stock and pistol grip.
