Wow those are small pictures, kind of like Avatar pics. Try bumping up the resolution to 800 X 600 pixels. That's what I'm posting my pics at.

From what I can see it looks to have a very nice dark walnut stock. Any cartouches on the left side of the stock just under the elevation knob? What is your receiver type? Springfield or another?

[Richard Simmons]

Springfield. Very faint mark on the side SA with something below. It's had the circle drilled into the bottom of the pistol grip by the danes. I put some wood filler into the deepest gouges last night and gave it a light sanding tonight followed by a coat of Red Mahogany stain. I need to get the handguards off and cleaned. I'll stain everything to make sure it matches then BLO and was or maybe low gloss Tung Oil finish to seal out moisture.
