Well, you guys seen the before pic:



Here is the after:



Now, that is NOT the same stock.  I had a stock that had never been finished, and that is what I used.  I used the handguards that came with the gun, however.  I think it turned out pretty decent.

Gman,

Looks real good!  Why the new stock?  The handguard looks great so was the stock cracked?

Hey I really like that. That looks nice. Now after thirty years and couple 1000 rounds she will look just the way she used to.

I already had the new stock.  My wife's sister gave it to me, it was her husbands that passed away.  The stock that came with the gun looks like someone has played baseball with it.  It aint cracked, but it looks awful.  I actually have made the old stock look better by running it though the dishwasher, sanding and refininishing it, but it still does not look as good as the new stock, of course. 

Thanks for everyones kind comments!
