[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3486773, member: 34578"] You may remember when I [S]stole this[/S] err, brought home this Ithaca X5 Lightning .22lr rifle. [URL]https://www.okshooters.com/threads/again-so-soon-ithica-22-rifle-and-stevens-87a.280127/[/URL] Well, I finally decided the original finish while not ugly, it was so cracked and no longer a protective barrier that it needed refinished. Boy was I surprised at what i found!!! Two-tone Walnut with near perfect grain lines and possibly the best looking factory stock I have uncovered yet. So as i got it. [ATTACH=full]186119[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]186118[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]186127[/ATTACH] After stripping the finish, sanding, NO STAIN, and Tung oil varnish. I also added a 1980s Kmart 3-9 scope and found a pair of flip up scope covers. [ATTACH=full]186122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]186123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]186120[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]186121[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
