[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 433473, member: 16173"] I went through a phase of stripping and refinishing my stock. On the Original 45 it's a plan beech stock, no chequering or anything. I longed to be able to afford a custom, thumb hole stock in burr walnut from say Venom (are they still going?) In the end I had a go with linseed oil then teak oil. The French polish was a step too far! Much too shiny and fragile but looked like a mirror. As I left it the stock had been taken back & stained black then oiled with linseed or teak oil. Been sat in the loft for probably 20 years. I think I might have fitted another spring (Ox?). Can't remember if I changed from the leather washer to something else like PTFE.....it was on the cards. I did fit a John Bowkett (?) brass trigger thingy. Also had a custom leather sling made for it. Same guy made me one for the crossbow I made. [/QUOTE]
