One last note about the stock: When I really turned my attention to it, I found some runs and drips and big dust particles trapped in the shellac. Like I said, it was a very amateurish attempt. I wet sanded with 400 wet or dry paper soaked in mineral spirits until I had the shellac leveled. I did this with the paper wrapped around a rubber eraser. I was very careful to avoid sanding through. After a couple of days to let the finish re-harden, I rubbed on three very thin coats of linseed oil--about three drops per side at four day intervals. I don't mind the old gouges and stains at all. To me, they are each part of the history of the gun, and I think the stock looks quite nice, all things considered.
And the outside of the right barrel looks good for its age. As long as the left barrel weld is turned to the wall, this will look pretty good in my cousin's gun room.
