Well ladies and gentleman I heading down the home stretch with this project!
Sunday (despite feeling like crap) I stained my 1903a3 stock; using equal parts of tung oil and mineral spirit and this it how came out:
However the top part (hand guard) is darker than the rest of the stock.
(I know it's hard to see - crappy photo I know)
Can I do anything to make it match?
Will another coat make it darker?
ALSO - Do I need put anything else on it (like a sealer)?
About once a year I put Tom's 1/3 mix on wooden stocks as a preventive measure.
