Yes. I have never used the Constantia red oil, but know another knife maker who raves about it.

Reasonably productive weekend.
Used the pencil grinder to grind the crossbolts down to the stock surface. Then polished them down with 400 grit wet & dry.

Ironbark forend tip is on.
Also fitted a barrel band sling swivel. I am going to have a traditional lace up sling.

The stock has had the grain raised and then sanded back with 600grit paper.
I made the barrel band out of some 1020 19mm steel plate. Used the rotary table on the mill after drilling a 19mm hole in the plate. The wall of the barrel band is 0.8mm thick. Polished it up with the pencil grinder.

Still waiting anxiously to see how that safety kit works out.
