Thread: Treating the stock on a rifle

Hey guys and gals have just built a rifle for my boys just wondering how you go about treating the stock?
What sort of wood protection etc?

I'll get a pic up soon

Cheers in advance. Dundee

I have a part bottle of birchwood casey tru oil left from when I did the stock on my .22 and the .270 I had you can have it if you want it. what breed of rifle did you build for the boys.

That would be cool hunter308 thanks I'll pm my address. Its only a toy but when the kids Nana saw them going up a hill with it alarm bells rang Would it be best too sand it first?

sand it back to bare wood then rub the tru oil into it, you may want to grab some love gloves out of the milking shed while using the tru oil too it'll make your fingers go sticky.

ok cheers

Bored ready through old threads.
Obviously easier to fit another stock than do a stock job.(the "famous .22)
