Glad you like it!
Brent, it was sealed and filled with Daly's ProFin so it's pretty tough underneath. I've been listening to Michael experiences with linseed and they are impressive indeed. But no, this will probably not be hunted hard although I'm never sure what's going to happen with the guns and prefer to build them tough.
There is no question that I've always preferred the look of linseed, and the boiled stuff will harden quite well with some time.

Jerry, I don't know anything about military stuff.
