Scherrell's Schaftol was what Beretta NZ told the gun shop I bought a '85 Bavarian from. The shop got it for me, it may have even come from Beretta NZ, but it was some 4-5 years ago. It's available in NZ anyway.



Boiled linseed progressively diluted with turps over many coats is for cricket bats and restored furniture... don't over oil the stock was the advise given.

I've done a hand rubbed finish on an older oiled Sako stock with Tung oil diluted with turps, but it took months, and many coats.
