WOW

Pretty work my friend. The stock really looks good. I'm building a stock for one of my 03's right now. Hope I can make it look that pretty. It's California Claro with a bit of figure and I put a piece of reddish persimmon on the tip and grip cap with a piece of maple from some maple floor as a spacer. No plastic. If you wax the receiver it will come up to a bit more shine. I use johnsons paste wax when I do triggers etc.

What kind of blue are you going to use? Brownell's also has a rust blue that is pretty good and will work just fine on that Remmy. If you use something like their Oxpho Blue..heat the work to about 120-140 degrees. It will come out looking better.Degrease with some alcohol. Wish I were a good wood finisher.
