I refinished the stock it was pretty clean but the stock looked dark red and the upper front hand guard was a lovely blonde however did not match. So i stripped off the cosmoline and heated it out of the wood and then sanded off the varnish and restained with varathane cherry stain. I also used a darker beachwood stain then a 2nd coat of cherry on the handguard which matched up nicely! I sealed it with clear varathane gloss.
So didnt take a before but heres an after.
