I got the stock roughed out; metal parts fitted...
The spliced extension is OK; not great, but I can live with it...[1st pic]...
The plug where the bolt handle fits I don't like...But I don't have a large selection of hardwood to make plugs from, so this is what I've got...[2nd pic]...
What I'm wondering now is, should I stain the stock before I apply BLO to it??? The BLO will darken it a little, but this particular stock might look better dark, so the splice & plug don't show up as much...
Any thoughts on this???
