Brian,

I'm not sure how I missed this rifle until now.  It's a beaut, for sure.  I have an ash stock with a barrel in it waiting on me to get started.  What did you use for staining and finishing this rifle.  I agree, it looks great!

Ron, I used Kibler's iron nitrate stain and Pilkington stock oil. I think I used some soot in one or two of the coats of oil.

Brian,

Where did you manage to find Pilkingtons oil?  I thought they were out of business.  I have a small bottle of it but it's basically for rejuvenating a stock but I sometimes rub it on at the end.

I bought a couple of bottles from Brownell's back during the covid years. I didn't know that they were out of business now. I really like their oil.

Your warm finishes make that ash beautiful.  I really like that one Brian.  Feel free to leave it here with me.  JB and I will use it in the monthly ALR target matches.   :-)    God Bless,   Marc
