When I was looking around the 'net about ways to refinish rifle stocks, it appeared there was two camps as far as oil finish is concerned: boiled linseed oil and tung oil. After reading alot of impressions, I went with boiled linseed oil and I could not be happier. I read somewhere this quotation:
"Once a day for a week, once a week for a month and then once a month forever."
After progessing into the once a month stage, I am totally pleased with the results.
I was wondering, however, how many of you are proponents of tung oil finishes? I have no experience with tung oil and am about to purchase my next milsurp project for refinishing. I am not interested in returning the rifle to 'original' form, only in refinishing is beautifully. Can some of you provide me with some tung oil finished rifle pictures and with your opinion on the benefits of each type of oil? Thank you in advance.
