Aight Brian. After telling me to keep putting coats on. Thats what I've been doing since my last post here. I dont even know how many coats i got 7,8,9? Ive been keeping the pressure light. Wiping on with rag than hand rubbing. I got the colors matching pretty good too. Notice the puddy job on forearm? Should call crosman and complain since im still under warrantee. See if i can get them to send me a nice walnut stock. Well next step is going to be Tung oil. I hope they mesh together well.

Welp, 3 coats oh Tung Oil. Im digging the light hue. It makes the black barrel and tube really stand out.

Looking good Rob. The lighter color does make the black pop.

  This is my 392, sanded off the old finish, reshaped the wood some, stained with brown leather dye, then used True Oil to finish.  Cell phone picture does not show up real well.

Really like the look of the gun after the reshaping.

i bought a nice 1400 that the feller did a WD-40 job on ; it looks O.K -but nothing like the finishes that can be made spectacular on these stocks .

Over the stain , no polyurethane.

Yea i should have hacked into the stock and changed it up. Slim it down a good bit. Now time to fork out some loot for the peep. Unless someone has one they aren't using anymore or their eyes wont allow it.
