Just completed a CVA Mountain pistol from a ziplock bag of parts and new stock from CVA. Finish is acid based from vinegar and iron, with Tunq oil and Johnson's paste wax. The Hawken I have had for 17 years, got it from a friend have no idea how old it is. It has taken a few deer since I have had it, it is a .45 cap. Needed to be refinished since last time I did it (17 yrs ago) I used a Fruitwood stain and P****. Stripped it and refinished with the vinegar stain. :results:
