A tour around the stock...but first, the first two coats of wax....rubbed in hard, hot, dried, buffed back, repeat 3 to 5 times...just two for now....we'll be handling the stock some more for bluing and final metal installation....
This is about enough wax to go inside and out one time. I was EVERYTHING including the bedding.

After a couple coats rubbed in hard, hot, dried and buffed, I installed the metal parts for now, screws too...they don't get lost this way. And I'll pull them in a day or so to start striking what needs to go to rust blue. But first gotta see my schedule and wrestle with that dirty bore.

Nose has been round over, under and around to trim up the profile from blunt to at least like a wooden nosecap.
Lock looks pretty good considerin all the rust. We didn't buff all that rust off, still some hidin there in the grease, its just dark brown with grease on it and it blends into the case colors. Just needs to be retouched occasional.
