For sure!

I cleaned them up a bit this morning and added some linseed oil to the stocks and additional photos — see first post for link.

Unfortunately, the 'icloud' photos will disappear, in a month or so, and your post will lose its context and usefulness.

I like the wood on your rifle with the m-1898 (Dickson) three-notch rear sight. Is this wood a European or possibly a Claro walnut?

BR, i am uncertain. I bought the stocks from a Canadian stock maker, and it was just listed as walnut.

Regarding the iCloud Photos — I read today that if I create a Public Shared Album, the link will not expire. So I have updated the first post with two album links that should never expire — I can also add more photos at any time without having to make a new link... :D
