Thread: wooden stock refinishing

Tru-Oil versus Linseed. I find Tru-Oil gives a more durable finish with virtually no ongoing maintenance. I do apply Birchwood Casey Wax occasionally. Linseed gives a more traditional deep luster finish but requires extra coats over time to maintain the finish. Also when doing stocks I water proof the internals, barrel channel, trigger group inletting, behind the butt plate etc at the same time with polyurethane (or a marine varnish) applied by brush, no spray.
