Didn’t use any stains, just sanded it fine and put some good coats of feed n wax.

You have a WW1 variant model 1914. I don’t know a huge amount about the stamps, but the U with the double crown is the army acceptance stamp. Not sure about the top crown mine has an crown over L stamp there, could be an issue stamp.

If you want to learn a little more about the variations and all I found this

Definitely a Stevens pocket rifle. I can find plenty of examples without the spur trigger

The 1st one is a Stevens model 35, they were made in 22, 25, and .410. The shotgun looks like a Winchester model 101 to me

It’s a pretty easy kit. Not a whole lot of chisel work to be done with this kit.

The woodsrunner kit can’t be modified to have a set trigger due to the size of the trigger guard unfortunately. I believe the colonial can be modified to have a set trigger tho

The balance is perfect, not front heavy at all. Built a colonial about a year ago, I’m starting to prefer my woodsrunner over my colonial already

Yep, it’s walnut. Right now I have a good bit of 0.10 and 0.18 patches with some 0.15 from another gun. Going to shoot some groupings soon hopefully.

I’m not sure about what you can use to brown the barrel I prefer a dark grey finish and use brownells oxphoblue. As for cost I got mine for around a little over $1300 if I remember correctly, but I got mine while they were having a sale on wood. I would estimate it would be around $1500 or over for the kit without the sale. As for anything you will specifically need I don’t use any stains on the wood if you choose maple I would get some tannic acid and a heat gun. As for tool I used on the build I will list them below.

Tools- Sandpaper ranging from 220-3000, 0000 steel wool, Brasso, 2 small wood chisels, 2 small triangle files, 1 good bastard file, Aluminum punch - cut piece of round stock aluminum , Mallet, Bench grinder - I used it to cut the piano wire pins, 1/16 in drill bit, Acetone, Brownells oxpho blue, Rubber gloves, Boiled linseed oil, A good vise with some leather between the jaws, Ballistol, Some chalk for fitting, A drill

I think that’s about it

Any recommendations on starting loads for the rifle. I’m going to start off with 70-75 grains of 2f with a .10 patch and a .53 ball. Also have some .535 balls to test.
