Client picked this one up on gunbroker, missing the bolt, some pretty good pitting on the barrel and floorplate, good bore, stock had mildew spots throughout and needed some small areas of repair. He asked for a very sympathetic restoration, no sanding of the stock, strike off as much pitting as was practical, etc. The repairs were carried out on the stock, the finished was oiled with red oil then a filling and hardening oil used to finish it off. The bolt recess was odd on this stock and in order to fill it the bolt handle needed to be positioned as it as.
