Yeah, yeah, yeah - It's becoming all Sasha, all the time here at SaaM. But I can't help it.
I purchased an ATI Monte Carlo synthetic stock since the wood on the M44 was a bit on the rough side. Here she is all decked out in her new outfit
I showed the Mrs. my handy work last night, and God bless her, she said "I much prefer the wood". I do too.
But the wood needs some work. It's in rough condition, and I'm not a great wood-smith. I'm not sure it it's even repairable. What I really want is a nice, cherry type wood look with ultra high gloss. Plus the upper part of the wood was cracked so I'd need to get a new one.
For the time being, Sashenka will simply look evil instead of gorgeous.
