Hay you guys......
Ok, so I finally bought a .22 Mag Henry. I hear Hornaday has some "home defense" ammo for the .22 mag and the gun was more than $200 bucks less ( with a couple boxes of ammo) than the .357.
But, that's not important now......
Some PO of my Remington 7MM Mag :
1) Put some kinda finish on the stock other than Linseed oil.....looks as tho it maybe Fornby's tung oil or some such and it is very un-even.
2) Spilled some light colored sheetage on the fore stock that ate into said finish & generally effed it up.
Some slow work with Scotch Brite cleaned it up (less a few light spots
)
So, Is tung oil a viable gun stock finish? I don't think Linseed oil will penetrate thru the finish that is there and sure as hell don't want to chemically strip ff the old stuff......so I'm quandrafied.
I have used Tung oil before on cabinets/wood work and can lay on a nice even coat or 3. ......
