[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2840997, member: 13284"] :urwelcome: Please hand checker the stock and carve your initials and the last four of your SSN into the receiver while you're at it. Seriously, I think you missed any and all of the points that I've made. I only condoned refinishing an original antique or milsurp stock if was in need of major repair. Somehow I think your rifle doesn't fall under that criteria. I posted examples of three original milsurp stocks that I had personally refinished (not counting the new and commercial replacements). All three stocks were spares and not original to any respective rifles in my collection. Two of those three needed serious repairs that required a full blown strip and refinish...and those two were refinished in a way that resembled a correct original finish for those stocks. On the third stock (the PU), nearly all of the shellac was missing so I removed the remainder, stained, and oiled the stock in a way that resembled an original wartime oil finish. I hardly think that makes me an advocate for a Tru-Oil and Minwax treatment on a Kar 98. This thread was started for the purpose of refinishing a 10/22 stock... [/QUOTE]
