Thanks(stock mystery solved) and when you say hand applied I use a soft cloth or paper towel and wipe it on wait 5min and then wipe off until it is not too wet. I don't soak it just lighty and 5 min wipe mostly dry. And it should have had a walnut stock but Patrick hinted to it being something other then walnut. It does have that lighter scaley swirly area on it that would be evidence of that.

The hint was a quote from Dana Jones. I agree with Dutchman that it looks like a beech stock. But a very nice dense kind of beech - maybe exactly that kind which Dana Jones refers to. Whatever the wood, it looks very good, so get out and shoot it!

Thats what i say,like its owner real dense. I don't know when I'll get a chance to shoot it and the 12+ other rifles I need to proof fire. I'll consider filming and have my film producer son put something together. or not. it seems I'm decisively indecisive as I get older though i can't deside at this time.

I had a CG 1902 96/38 that I had to sell 5 years ago. had a 5 shot 100 yd group that was 2.5" 4 could be covered up with a quarter one flyer. Only other rifle I had that ever shot like that was a Finnish
M39 Nagant. Bought it out of a barrel at a Tulsa gun shop for $69.00. I dont have it anymore either The guy that bought the Swede still has it . I occasionally try to get him to sell it back so far its a no go. Enjoy your rifle it is truly a work of art. Fisn
