Refinished my stock this weekend.

Doesnt look too bad now.

[Frenchie]

Not bad at all. Will you be using something to wipe on it from time to time? I use either carnauba wax or Ballistol on my stocks.

[Dave Myrick]

Sweet oil works well and is both less expensive and period correct.

Oiling of the stock is just another part of the cleaning process for all my firearms.

I stripped away that ole pesky plastic finish from my Enfield a couple years ago. I am happy I did so. I use Tung Oil. gives a rich patina, and penetrates into the wood instead of sitting on top and doesn't attract dirt and dust like oil does.

Looks good, Bill. Mine looks much the same.

I hand-rubbed seven coats of Daler-Rowney linseed oil (the stuff without the health warnings) into mine.

For cleaning, I use Kramer's Best Antique Improver. Then I seal it with Jarnagin's Preservation Wax.

William, do you by any chance have before pics? I'd be interested in comparing what they look like before and after your work. Thanks

[VaTrooper]

I can do better I think.
