Last summer I purchased a ruger inline muzzel loader.I only have one complaint the hardwood stock is slippery.I have thought about checkering it but my experience with checkering hardwood of unknown species has not been good (I am a pretty good hand a checkering wood that checkers well).I have been thinking about some sort of flat black nonslip finish on the grip and forend.Does anyone have any sugestions on how to do this and still leave the original finish intact on the rest of the stock?
