[QUOTE="ronny, post: 2840728, member: 8853"] I regret not having better pics and especially not having before and after. My bad. This is a 91/30 which had an upper forearm that was completely non-matching to the classic red and black Mosin stock. I used ordinary Rit red (maroon) and black dye mixed with Tung Oil. Not an easy feat, since they are basically incompatible. After a lot of experimentation, including some vigorous mixing, I came up with a match that was virtually identical to the original. I then topped it off with amber shellac. Just goes to show what you can do if you're patient and willing to spend the time. It looked much better in the light of day, too.
