STAIN FOR A 74 WINCHESTER MODEL 94 I REPAIRED A SMALL DENT AND SCRATCH ON THE BOTTEM OF THE STOCK AND COULD NOT FIND A STAIN TO MATCH I DO FURNITURE REPAIR AND HAVE ABOUT 25 QUARTS OF STAIN, NONE MATCHED, I ORDER THREE GUN STAINS AND THEY DID NOT MATCH. WALKING TO THE SHOP ONE MORNING I REMEMBERED I HAD SOME STAIN I USED TO USE. I TRIED SAMPLES OF FOUR CAN AND ONE WAS MINWAX RED MAHOGANY AND TO MY SURPRISE IT MATCHED. I HAD A SMALL LIGHT SPOT AND I MIXED A LITTLE STAIN WITH TRU OIL AND BLENDED IT THE LIGHT SPOT. IT WORKED FOR ME .

You are yelling!

I usually mix mahogany with a walnut stain. It’s a trial and error thing.
When posting in all capital letters some consider this yelling, usually because you are made or trying to make a point.

If so, I missed the point. Sometimes see the same very irritating thing in ebay listings.

Good to know, newer guns seem to have a different tint sometimes. Maybe a bit more opaque, never quite figured it out. Most of us don’t hear very well but we save the yelling for when we meet.
