Nice redo, and very nice forged ironwork.  She's a keeper.  All girls like a color change on occasion. ;D  From blonde to brunette.

Certainly a cheap way to get a whole new rifle! Try the Dangler Browning solution the next time I get great results with it in addition to Homer's stains.

Excellent results with a very nice makeover! The darker wood looks much better IMO .
