I think you did a nice job, it looks just fine , is your reciever, and butt plate brass , or is that just a reflection , sometimes my case harden 92 , will reflect that way , but any who, were you trying to make the stock dark ? or just a shade darker, if your going to try this next winter, try testing on a small spot, ( take the butt plate off ) on the butt of the stock , I know there isn't a lot of room there but it will give you an idea, of how it might look , just do a little spot , because you might want to change your stain , and you will need some clean wood to test that also, you should be able to test at least four spots on the butt. hope this will be of some help to you for the next time , if you deside you can't live with it the way it is , but I think it looks real nice the way it is.....
And by the way thats a nice collection of levers pard
