I think it takes a special talent for someone to restore a firearm and have an end result that looks like a very well cared for original. Very nice! What finishes did you utilize for wood and metal?

Thank you gentlemen for the kind words.
The fore end is 8&3/4" long from tip to receiver ring.
I fired blued the screws and magazine release, rust blued all the other metal and used a hand rubbed modified oil with alkenet root in it for the finish on the stock.

A wonderful sympathetic, restoration and I love the engraving. Did you add any stock color other than alkanet in oil? I can't tell about pore filling--did you get them filled and how?

The pores look nicely filled to my eye. I used a rotten stone slurry with the modified oil. The only color in this stock is the alkenet root. I use it on most things and it depends upon the wood as to the final color you end up with.
