Default RE: Refinishing rifle stock

I use a mixture of both tung oil an linseed oil. I use 1 tsp of tung, 1 tsp of linseed and 1/2 tsp of japan drier. Allow 24-48 hrs in between coats and wet sand every 2-3 coats. After wet sanding use a tack rag to remove any dust or lint before applying next coat. I find that this mix provides a nice depth without the glossy look of just tung and without the dull look of just linseed. I have done several of my own wood stocks and several of my friends and all look great without any problems with moisture. I would suggest trying each on a piece of scrap wood and see which you like better.
