...... also contains a stain/filler........
Had some small delays with the 1873 refinish project. I would have documented the transition from Uberti 'red tide' finish more closely but, I came to this thread a little late. The attached pics are of stripped forend and first past dark walnut stain on the butt stock. Second shot is of the finished wood with two hand rubbed coats of Watco teak oil. Final shot is of the rifle reassembled.
Coffinmaker, couldn't get it to spread. But I did wick in some superglue. I may try to use it some day. Low recoil CAS loads shouldn't stress it and I don't throw my rifles down after shooting. But I have noticed it will take some fitting effort as the tang holes don't line up at all with the couple of my rifles that I checked.
