Do you plan on cleaning and oiling it? I would love to see some pics with it cleaned up. The big question is, do you have the rest of the Garand to put in the stock?
I do own some Garands--and I'll be curious to see how the stock shoots.
Most likely I'll hold off on anything but the most basic cleaning until I have other matching pieces in hand, then refinish each piece with an eye toward bringing them together, blending each piece into the other (if that makes any sense).
