This is a Stevens model 54 410ga. that I just finished with tru oil. I picked it up at the gun show. It was made between 1933 and 1942. The stock was really nasty with several layers of crap on it. I'm still looking for bolt assembly parts for it so
it's not finished yet. I stripped it down to the wood and was surprised to find no cracks or chips. Just a few dings that I did not fully remove. I only put four coats on it when I decided it was where I wanted it to be. Not perfect but good. Below it is a winchester 67a that I did over ten years ago with stain and poly. I think it has held up really well. Kind of hard to tell in the photo. Have to say I like the stain and poly better than the tru oil. I just did not like the way the tru oil went on. Just me I guess.
