Now that I'm back home from college, I've had the chance to really put some time in with the project. The project mainly consists of refinishing the stock, free floating the barrel, and shaping the bolt cutout and near the ejection port. The bolt cutout was square, and off-center to the bolt.
The stock is sanded, and ready for stain. After it gets stain, I'm adding sling studs and a nice sling. I also have a Weaver Classic 4x28 ready and waiting. I've just got to pick up some rings.
I'm debating which route I should go. I sort of want to go with a reddish stain, but just putting a clearcoat on the stock might not look too bad.
Let me know what you think.
On to the pics.
EDIT: Oh, I forgot to add that I'm going to see how the iron sights perform before mounting the scope. I never shot this rifle without a scope, so we'll see how she does with irons.
