Mine is very basic walnut. I love the look of martial walnut stocks and that is what I was going for. Kiblers brass black for the metal rubbed back. Natural patina from there. I’m not winning any awards with her but she’s plain and simple like her owner.

Looks great. You put any stain at all on it ? You black the barrel also ? WD
