K98icon Russianicon capture. Don't like the shellac look, so I stripped the laminated stock and handguard. I applied 6 coats of 50/50 BLOicon and mineral sprits and 4 hand rubbings of Tom's 3/1. I can't get the hanguard as dark as the stock. Looks mismatched. I heard wiping it down in cosmolineicon and leaving for a week or so will darken the wood. I don't want to strip and stain. Any thoughts?
