Any tips for refinishing a stock on a 1955 CMP stock. I already ran it throughthe dishwasher ( can't beleive how well that worked, it was my first time trying this) as it was pretty beat up. It was a Greek return, but still had a walnut stock (although the wood shade varies from piece to piece) I've lightly ran some 0000 steel wool to take off the "peach fuzz" after the DW. Should I try to restain the walnut and the apply the oil, or just go with oil only? Finally, should I use tung oil or BLO? Any pro's and con's of each as far as ease of use, finish, durability. This rifle will never be a show piece, just would like to have a decent looking shooter. Thanks in advance.
