[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1880002, member: 7157"] I agree. Unless the stock has been varnished or is splitting or cracking, you really shouldn't have to do much to get a "factory" finish - which consisted of dipping in either linseed or tung oil. If the stock is grimy, a wipe-down with citrus solvent, followed by several light, hand-rubbed applications of either BLO (boiled linseed oil) or PTO (pure tung oil - my preference), wiping off the excess oil in between applications, and you should be GTG.
