What rifle is the thumbhole stock on?
You have succeeded in converting the sows ear into a silk purse. I did not think anyone could make a Savage ML look good. You made them look great, Congrats.

Thanks. I had finished the two Sav MLs with tung oil but even after many coats it was not filling the pores well. I had just brought them to an auto body shop for them to add coats when Richard suggested the same thing. That helped out alot for $20 apiece. The thumbhole is a TarHunt shotgun, it has a Rem 700 action and a Jewel trigger. I added the stock and told Microsoft back then to send any they had available. It is maple, the other two are walnut. Neither the maple or the one walnut have any stain, the color is from the finish. The other has French red on it.

deadeye: They won't look good if they do not shoot but I am feeling better about the .38, the barrel is much improved from the relapping so I am hopeful.

Those sure are some nice looking guns! I just love high grade walnut. If you are going to hunt with them you may get hypnotized looking at all that tangled up wood and not any deer.

That thumbhole stock takes the blue ribbon IMO,but the others are tied for second BEAUTIFUL guns JIM. I just bought my third stock for my build its AAA Claro Walnut from Royal Arms . Pretty wood is mesmerizing ,and never two the same. Anyone needing a nice laminate for a 700 let me know. You mentioned Microsoft,is Bill Gates building stocks now also?,LOL I know you you ment microfit.
