The stock isn't laminated, but it does look like it has a nice grain. $150 is not bad at all. You did well on that rifle.
I thought for sure it was being as shiny as it is. But yes it does have a very nice grain.

Onwrd - I think that you did very well, too. A little cleanup, and a little touch up, and that one should be mighty nice.
Here come the fireballs!
Thanks for the comments.
Yeah, it's weird about the initials, couldn't see them when I bought it, and in fact had to scrub away a lot of grime to make out the K at all. If I had seen the initials from the start, that would have clinched the sale even sooner.
At the risk of making Docster mad for revealing his honey hole for 1951s they sell under gunsnotparts4sale
