I managed to pick up 2 Falcon FN19 multi-shot in both .22 and .177. Both have never been shot and came in the original box. The actual stock was very nice however........I'm left handed and so......I need a new stock. Thanks to Dirte's post on his RAW, I wanted to make a Curly Maple stock. I have made stocks in Cherry, English Walnut, and Black Walnut and wanted to continue doing something different. Here is the process

I attempted to do Tru-oil but did not like how it was coming out and had to saaaaannnnd it off. I happened to be at my local wood/hobby shop and took their suggestion. Joe Wayne Rae may have had a better suggestion with his Antique Minwax technique but I went with what I could get due to time (also 1/2 off). It took about 10 coats which took 8-10 hrs to dry (in the desert). Quite happy with the results but took forever to get the shine I was after. Probably not going to be a hunting rifle, LOL!
This is what I used
