Just rub some boiled linseed oil onto the entire barrel and rear sight and it will protect the browning. I've been rubbing down the barrel on the mtn rifle withj BLO and it looks to me like it has been getting darker.
never used it. I have only used tru-oil for all my stocks i have refinished. Coreys rifle is my best yet as i forced myself to slow down. For the last 3 coats i used tru-oil in the spray can which came out perfect and avoided any runs. It was a fun redo and i hope it serves corey well.

Beautiful man, great job. Too pretty to hunt with just put it over the fireplace! I have used tung oil and i like the look it gives to wood.
