Your MAK-90 rifle looks excellent. I like the laminated look.   Nice job!  

I put Ironwood on one of my MAK-90s back last summer.  I had to wait 2 months for the materials after I was told initially it would only take 2 weeks due to inventory issues.  Matt does make a good product but he is swamped and due to this unable to get product out the door quickly.  So you are not the only one who had to wait.

Very nice rifle! I just sent payment for a stock set for a NHM90 a week ago and Matt said the set is ready and will ship Monday. Guess I lucked out on timing so not much of a wait for me.

Very Nice indeed.  Sure beats the heck out of that thumbhole stock!  I used to own a MAK90. Excellent rifle...I just could not live with that thumbhole stock.  I ended up buying a NIB Polytech Legend

Really nice rifle.
Problem I had was having to fit the metal bands to the fore end  and hand grip. Wish the parts had been made to fit or close to fitting. Lot of hours spent with a file and sand paper.

So what process did you go through to die the wood?  I want the color on yours!  lol

Rit dye.  2 parts Cocoa Brown, 1 part Scarlet Red, 1 part yellow.  Dissolve in denatured alcohol, apply with a new brush.  Allow to dry.  Polish lightly with 0000 steel wool (this will also take some of the brightness out of the colors).  The finish is multiple coats of low gloss tung oil.  Finally, I put some furniture wax on over the tung oil.  If you want the option of applying more tung in the future, DON'T wax it.
