Bob, you are far to kind!! I actually have some skill sets that may benefit you, if you ever are in need of advice/help. As I am quite new to this site, I assume that you may be able to contact me, if you ever need help. If that type of direct IM capability does not exist here. just reply to...

Fyi, I did apply a very high quality wood oil to the scarred areas the minute I got the rifle home. I have experience in wood working, and really want to know if the original sealant was a varnish or a lacquer. As the finnish is not dark, and the stock appears quite light/natural, the original...
