My kit has been held up for 6 days at the same place by the postal service one city away from me. Then just now got a message from usps that my package is at the “destination center”, all the way across the state, which isn’t right. Clearly it hitched a ride on the wrong truck, lol, but at least they scanned it so we know where it is. Now we are having a blizzard too so looks like I won’t see it anytime soon. On the plus side I’ve been getting all the stuff together to assemble it. Decided to use Art’s French red filler on the stock. As for finish, if the kibler finish shows up in the package then I’ll use that, otherwise I’ll use tru-oil or tried and true oil. The metal will be left in the white, screws fire blued. I have an assortment of wood stain powder and was thinking of applying some black then whisker it off and yellow then whisker it off prior to French red. Do yall think that will be too much? I want the stock dark with hints of yellow in with the red.
