Hey Claven, The stock has a very heavy coat of butchers wax on it, When I picked it up it was very dry, so I used the famous butchers wax. It will dissipate in 6 months or so. Yep Still has the cartouche in the FG but quite faint. I got it for a great price considering the fellow said the bore was shot. I slugged it with annealed brass and a pile of some weird looking junk came out. I've never seen it before, almost like over dried shellac, but, the bore is fine and Son #1 put up 2 M.O.A. without breaking a sweat (youth, hmm). I'm still getting used to the color of the wood, but, its growing on me. I just can't seem to shake this nasty case of Mosinitius. Every time I think its going away, some thing new pops up and I just get it right back again. I think its chronic! V.B.R.-Steve
