Sanded the repo handguard, applied Birchwood Casey walnut stain to the desired color and finished it off with 3 coats of boiled linseed oil.
After the handguard dried I lightly brushed it with 0000 steel wool and applied stock wax. Buffed it and placed it on the carbine. Next I slapped on a non-carbine 1896 rear sight and WALLAH!
