[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2488361, member: 25419"] Raw linseed oil is the most appropriate. Last time I bought any was from Ace hardware - cheap stuff, one can will do many rifles. Sand (using a block!!!!), until you've got your surface the way you want it - and get rid of Acrylic or whatever Mitchell's put on it. Put some linseed oil on a scrap of burlap, and rub it in, rub it in. use small amounts, and rub, rub, rub, until wood has absorbed most of the oil. The burlap will help smooth the surface. Let it dry for a day or three, and repeat. Sometimes I'll repeat this process ten times, until I get the correct finish I'm looking for. ****raw linseed oil on rags will self ignite**** so dispose of rags/burlap appropriately. This finish is not as tough as the newer ones, but will give you the right look and feel. [/QUOTE]
