That works, It has been years since I worked on one, but I sprayed the unfinished stock with some of my wife's spray starch, let dry sanded with something like 400 or 600 grit w/d sandpaper, and repeated a time or two. Then stain. The starch acts like a filler and disappears when stained.

"Ahhh, almost forgot the important part--how I adjusted the trigger. Here's the procedure: Turn the trigger adjustment screw in all the way. That will give a 2-stage but heavy pull with a very definite second stage. Back out the screw about a half turn at a time until you feel the second-stage get lighter--eventually, it'll disappear. Turn the screw back in--in quarter turns if necessary--until you can just feel the second stage pause. That's about as light as it'll get and still give the 2-stage feedback."

Probably stain or dye to bring out the stripes and any figure I think I see something in it based on some of the pictures. I haven't received it yet. I can play with it before I do final shaping and finish sanding. And see what I like. It's all up in the air. If I'm staining it I have to do the checkers first. Blond walnut isn't my thing. I'll know a lot more when I get it wet.
For sure it will get a sanded in finish. Shadow line cheek piece? Maybe a little delrin domed grip cap? Dreaming? Perhaps
Yeah, I could have said HW guard. Same thing. They're reasonable and easy to get. I really should make a milled and filed steel one but my shop time is limited. Two more years I plan on going part time. I'm 64 and really fit so I should have some great years ahead to make and do everything I've dreamt about. Praying for that always. And giving thanks for how it's been (y)

No, It was listed a few weeks. I actually offered a kinda low price at first because I wasn't sure if I wanted the project or what the wood would look like. I thought it looked like it had figure and I definitely like Turkish walnut streaks. So after about a week I ponied up with a better offer. Glad I did it's a beautiful 1/4 sawn stick with wide fiddleback patches all up and down both sides. It's a JM stock but I haven't seen this particular pattern before. And it feels really nice in my ape hands. I have so many projects in progress already and so busy with my work and the exercise I need. Like everything else, I'll get it done. And I'll show it then.
