    thanks chaps, appreciated. Some darkening might be good, as it is a little light, but I know it will darken somewhat anyways...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I have used the CCL kit on a few stocks, and always been very happy, The red oil in it really brings up the grain (and yours looks as if it could be really nice with a bit of emphasis) and the next oil gives a very nice finish which you can either leave high gloss or cut back with pumice for a softer sheen. A LOT of sanding, down to 1000g is needed for a top class finish.
