Any good wood sealer. Minwax makes a pre-stain sealer and a sanding sealer that should both be good. The sanding sealer might be the better of the two.

I shot mine with a lacquer - same stuff I use on cabinets... actually they domake a spray can of Lacquer also - Deft makes it if I remember right... The other thing that I have used is a Poly sanding sealer works very well and easy to apply with a sponge brush.... both the lacquer and the sanding sealer dry hard and are impervious toliquids...

Example of Deft:



When i did mine I shot the whole stock insie and out... the out side of the stock needs to be sealed also... Dave used stock wax and waxed the heck out of his to protect it.

Not the same trigger but the principles are close.

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...

Thanks again for all the info.

My GP flintlockcame with nothing more than a dull stain finish.I coated it with wax, then hit it with my wife's hair dryer, then rubbedit in,let it dry, and buffed it. Did that three times and it came out real nice. Very weatherproof.

did some work on my GPR lastnight and used Tru-oil on the inside of the barrel channel, lock and every area that was covered with something. The outside of the stock is boiled linseed oil. Lots of hand rubbed coats.
