    Just put first coat of linseed oil on so wood is not finished, still waiting on some other parts.
    First pic is before I started.

    Can decide if I like this or the dark one better.

    Did the 500 come with the forward swivel or did you attach one? I'm looking for something for my 88.

    I liked the leather on the dark wood, but the pic with the fresh linseed oil is perfect. Nice classic look. Another option would be to throw a couple layers of clear/amber satin or semi-gloss polyurethane over the oil once it dries to weatherproof it and give it a hard durable shell. Regardless of what you decide, you did a great job refinishing it.

    Nicely done- reminds me of the 590 Retrograde, gorgeous shotgun best I’ve seen them ever do, shame it comes with an astronomical price.
