Thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing the end result as well, its been a while coming now.
I got a few more pick from the guy finishing my stock, Wayne.
he has a few things left to do, like the checkering, stock oval inlay and the finish.
then once I get it back I have to fit the tang safety internals, install the barrel rib, rear and front sights, sling swivel on a barrel band and one in the butt stock
send the barrel nut, grip cap, butt plate and mag for engraving, send the barrel and mag for rust bluing and the barrel nut, tang safety, butt plate and grip cap for CCH
then, maybe then it will be pretty much done.
the pics were texted to me so not very high resolution
the stock was wiped with water to show the grain.
