Here's the little 514 I picked up for $30. The stock looked like crap and the barrel wes bent.
While I was on the look for a replacement barrel, I started working on the stock.
At first I thought that I would find some nice Walnut under the old finish, but it was Beech with a bad spot on the left side of the forearm. I think that just a little too much bug spray got on it.
It cleaned up pertty good after a light sanding, but had a few stains that went pertty deep into the wood.
