Dang Steve, that is a beauty! You really did a nice job on the stock. Are you still using RLO?

a question first
was the metal that nice or did it get refinished on the HV
now 10 years ago the FWB 300 was on everyone's mind everyone wanted one those that had them loved them and i would guess still do but when the Diana 75 was added to the conversation most would say yes but they are too hard to fix give me a 300 instead
and now that more people have went down the road of the 75 the attitude has changed and the Diana 75's have a more friendly following
now for me i only have 3 Diana 75's so you know where i come down on all this

The bluing is all original. It does have some marks but overall is in very nice condition, especially for a rifle that is 44 years old, so I decided to leave it untouched. The stock on the other hand was very faded on one side, and the wood looked dry. The refinishing took care of this and the coloring is nice and balanced now. I only have this one Diana 75, but it is my favorite rifle.
