This technique works great on birch which is known for it's irregularities in taking on oil and stain. The best part about the aged oil finish is that you can have a great feeling new finish while retaining that military C&R look (just don't sand the stock to death). IMO it's a much better finish than the sloppy shellac jobs on most refurbed Mosin's that tend to scratch and peel easily. Here is a photo of my repro PU sniper with an aged oil finish applied. If this looks like something you'd be interested in doing, drop me a pm and I'll send you a couple how to links.[ATTACH=full]90565[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
