On my White UM I took Birchwood Casey Stock Wax and a small model builders brush. I painted the entire inside of the stock with a heavy coat of wax, and then the outside of the stock as well. Then set that in a corner to dry over night. The next day, with a clean cotton sock, I began to buff that wax excess off. I've done that twice now in all the time I have owned it. I have hunted in rain and snow, and the moisture beads up on the stock just perfect. It can get a little slick in wet weather, but I have gloves with some funky grip thing on the inside palms, and that takes care of that problem. It was easier and faster then polyurethane. I think that is what you're asking about...
