I like the aging you did to it.
Have you been able to shoot it yet?

Beautiful work. :hatsoff:

Looks good how long did you let your stain work before using and what type fo iron did you use and what oil did you use on the stock? I like that shade.

Thanks all.

Oldarmy, yes it has been shot. I like to shoot them before I finish the metal so I can file sights and do the after.

Ephraim, I think I have had this batch of stain working for more than 8 month. The iron is the powdered stuff from under the chop saw in the shop.
I used LMF stock sealer to finish the wood.
