Fully agree on the tung oil. Jerry, are you machining Walnut into rifle stocks in the shop?
I usually buy a "semi-inletted" stock blank (which usually looks like it was hacked out of a log with a dull hatchet by Ray Charles) and fit it to whatever action I'm working with. I bought a bunch of Turkish Mausers about 40 years ago when they were dirt cheap, and made a lot of pretty nice sporters out of most of them. I've still got a few originals stashed away that are getting too valuable to whittle on. Jerry
