I did this MRod stock. I just sanded it down to my liking, removing about a pound of weight. I tried to model it after the Daystate Regal. Then I used the Pre-Stain and Oil based stain by Minwax. After this I put about 20 hand rubbed coats of Tru-Oil

Big Tin Boat - that stock looks great. Wonderful job on it. Almost enough to inspire me to start sanding on my Marauder this winter.
Good Job.
Good Job.

That is an amazing job! Did you use any power tools or do it all by hand?

I did. I used FAIRTRIMMERS MILITARY OX.
came out very nice. Follow instructions. If you want the brownish look, don’t continuously stir or shake it.
If you want the orange reddish tint like a Russian ak 47 stock, agitate it very often.
This because the orange reddish pigments sink quickly to the bottom.
i did the orange tint. Looks like a true russian or yugoslavian military stock.

Thanks for all the compliments.
I did use a disc sander to remove the raised cheek pieces. Other then that I cut the forearm with a hand saw and hand sanded.
I am currently working on refinishing a Nova Vista stock the exact same way.

This is a black walnut stock I made and finished it in Boiled Linseed Oil. It really is a natural look and you can still feel the grain of the wood. It also is very easy to touch up. It does however, take some time between coat for it to dry. (Several days to a week) I have done a stock in TruOil which also is very nice and like others have stated, Joe Wayne Rhea has posted several method here on this forum

Air Rifle Headquarters-Jim Maccari has good instructions on their website on how to use Royal London Oil for stock refinishing. Also, there's some good information on another thread on this forum on using boiled linseed oil, and FrankinFairfield is an enthusiast of that method. There's a ton of information on this on the World Wide Web, but for a high sheen, Joe Wayne Rhea's videos provide some very easy to follow instructions.

Royal London Oil from Mr.Maccari is really great stuff. I am a retired woodshop teacher. I really like his product. If you use a double boiler, you can apply it warm with your bare fingers for a perfect layer. His instructions are flawless.
