i am going to wet the whole thing with water tomorrow let dry then use tru oil at a 2-1 ratio with mineral spirits and wet sand with 400 grit paper probably 2 times or more that will fill the grain , then more tru oil.

Yes, I too own and hunt with modern plastic stocks... But a piece of fine wood in my hands is wonderful... Nice Job please pictures when finished...

It was claimed to be 98%, Id say its maybe 90%, bolt opening not big enough, trigger guard area needs work, action lug area needs work, action loading port/eject, isnt long enough, but the barrel channel leaves enough to free float it.
