Rescuing the Mauser - Stock options

Ok folks see the thread to see the build in action.

Here are the different stock that I have that can be used for the this build. Help me decide which way to go.

Stock 1


Stock 2


Stock 3


The original one with a new metal butt plate. Just remember that this is chambered in 303 British and it will kick.

So lets get to deciding.

The first one would do well in San Franisco being rainbow colors and all. I used Tung oil on mine and to wares well and easy to fix if you ding it

I am a fairly traditional kinda guy. The pepper looks bad A@@ but I dont know how much I would be willing to pay for a 303 mauser. The Mauser Action is second to none. IMO but I'm not all that crazy about the 303

It's just another cartridge with lots of history still going thump like the rest of em
I like the Pepper one

usually I'd go for the pepper...but the green does turn out really neat looking under multiple coats of tung oil.

i am all for the greenish one.... pepper is awesome but it is becoming overdone.....

i think th greenish with nice duracoat,,,, a bold adjustable trigger,,,,

it would rock...

I’d go with the pepper one. The green looks good as well but the multi color is a little to loud for me.

The coloured stock are awesome with stainless or painted metal but never did care for them on blued barreled actions .Have two 1917 Remington's , one with a nutmeg and one with salt and pepper stocks and both have maroon metal . Which ever you choose , I'm sure youl enjoy it .

I like the pepper one think it would look nice.

I like the Greenish looking one....I think that one would look bad ass...
There is a females opinion for ya.......(Since we have good taste and all LOL)

i like your taste... green one for sure

I would defenitly go with the green one they look awesome in the sun. I think that one will look extreemly good expecialy with the black that is exposed on that stock, It should make the green jump out at you.

I will say that all 3 have a nice pattern. Did you hand pick them or is that what was sent to you?
Tripples

you can always add more depth and contrast by applying a few coats of dark stain before the finish coats are applied.
