So, I love my new gun, and I got it as a bit of a bargain but I wasnt happy with the condition of the stock. Specifically the comb looked a bit rough.
A bit of youtube and a few conversations with some guys who know more than I do about wood (which is precicely nowt) I bought some 1200 Wet and Dry, 0000 Steel wool, and some boiled linseed oil.
Spent an hour or so on it this afternoon sanding and polishing and I am pleased to say that after much consternation DIYing something this expensive it looks bloody great. Only 1 light coat of oil so far but the difference is stunning IMO.
