Well, here is my first attempt at refinishing a gunstock. Still looks wet -- it isn't. It is 7 coats of Maccari's New Royal London Oil, applied by rubbing on by hand with a latex glove. no sanding between coats. After the finish hardens a few weeks, I will rub it out again with the Stock Mud. A neighbor gave me this rifle -- missing the bolt and magazine, and with some rust and pitting on the barrel and breech. I rubbed all of that out with 0000 steel wool and Kroil. I found a replacement bolt on gunbroker.com which, after shipping, cost almost $120. The magazine was another $25. The replacement rear sight, $20, and Maccari's RLO and Stock Mud were about $12 bucks as I recall. So, I have about $175 bucks and some time and elbow grease invested in this little 22. It, btw, will shoot 22 S, L, LR and seems pretty accurate.
