[QUOTE="Harley1953, post: 1736084, member: 5145"] I have this 8mm Turkish mauser that I bought about 10 years ago and it has pretty much been a safe queen.... I have decided to keep it and "pretty it up" some as well as make it earn it's keep at the range. It is a 1940 k-kale with wood stock as I guess all of them were.. Now my question. I am think it needs to be cleaned up a bit. I have seen MANY methods to clean finish a stock/metal etc. The stock looks to be plain old wood with no sort of finish of any kind... Metal looks to be in pretty good shape for 70+ year old rifle. Recommendations on cleaning up the stock? I was really just thinking of using the linseed oil I have out in the garage and wiping it down a bunch... You won't hurt my feelings if you tell me to just leave the cheap thing alone and go shoot it. I think I paid about $75 for it around 2002... As I have seen a number of folks(me included) suggest a milsurp thread, has anybody heard if we on OSA are going to get one any time soon? [/QUOTE]
