Hey Brad,
I citrus stripped the stock and applied Tom's pine tar.
What do you think?

Looks good to me.

I'm still working on that untouched stock, haven't forgotten about it.

 

[AC MkIII]

Thanks. I appreciate it

If you put some heat on the stock with a heat gun, or maybe even a hair dryer-it will help the pine tar penetrate and hopefully get a little darker. If you can heat the stock and heat the mixture while rubbing it in, I've been told it really helps.

No experience on my end, just what I've read.

That is what I did. I think over time it will get darker. Unfortunately someone took the time to pull the original finish out of the stock and shellacked it.

Here it is in the rack next to another Finn to the right and a Russian to the left without the red shellack.

Definitely looks darker being framed by the two rifles then it does by itself

Flash on the cell phone camera does a number on the color too.
Can't wait to shoot it.
