The wood on my rifle has a not-very attractive urethane-type finish which has been scratched and worn down over the years. The wood now is very dry, so perhaps that has contributed to its compaction. I have just helped a Turkish walnut wholesaler to establish some sales in my country, so maybe it is time for payback. A blank of superior Turkish Walnut would be appreciated. The Remington wood looks a bit blonde for walnut, but I could be mistaken.

If you ever get a Macmillan, you will leave the walnut in the gun case forever. This coming from a guy who lives in walnut heaven.
