I use a combination of gunstock oils based on boiled linseed oil and then often just a few very careful coats last of tru-oil...very thin and delicately rubbed back each time to get a really smooth finish... I'm sure others do it differently...just the way I have become to appreciate. T Last edited by Ballistix999; 03/11/11 07:24 PM.
