I recently picked up a used 111FCXP3 in 7mm Rem Mag. The first thing I'm doing is replacing it with a 114 LA stock with the oil finish and inletted for the floorplate. ($82 shipped from numrich).

First question is: If I wanted to spruce up this stock a little (build on the current finish with a couple of coats and a maybe a poly clear coat) is there a good guide out there for the process? I like the color and feel of the stock as it is, but wouldn't mind making it "just a bit" nicer...

Second, since this stock is inletted for the floorplate and also has the button for the Detachable Box Magazine, does anyone have any idea which floorplate I should get so that it will work with the DBM?

I'm really looking forward to having some fun with this rifle. Somewhere down the line I plan to have a trigger job done, pillar bed the stock, true and time the action... but need to save up and do things one at a time..

Thanks forany advice you migth have.
