[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 919862, member: 7157"] I agree with the others - leave it alone, or at most treat it with boiled linseed oil or [B]pure[/B] tung oil (not tung oil finish, which is a mixture of tung oil and other stuff). Linseed oil is what the US military used during the early days of WW2, and pure tung oil is what they used during the later part of, and just after, WW2 on their rifle stocks. You can cut the BLO or tung oil with a mild solvent (I use citrus solvent) to help the oil penetrate into the wood and to help speed the drying time. If you really want a stock with bling, [URL="http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/Replacement-Stocks-for-Military-Rifles-s/82.htm"]get one of these.[/URL] [/QUOTE]
