A little background:
I graduated from Fitchburg State College in May of '09 with a B.S. in Engineering. For my graduation gift, my grandparents bought a St. Louis Hawkins rifle kit. The stock was unfinished, the metal in the white, and all parts needed to be fitted to the stock.
I have been slowly working on the kit since May. I blued the barrel and fasteners, polished all the brass, hand sanded the stock and finished it with half a dozen coats of Tung Oil. This week it all came together when the Williams FireSights came in.
Here's the finished product:
And lastly, thank you gram & gramp!!!
