[robwelsh 354]

CCL conditioning oil

for already oiled stocks use, ccl conditioning oil just to prolonged life etc.

 

but i would highly recommend refinishing with tru-oil

so use ccl oil then tru oil?

and im sure its been oiled but i want the grain to come through more? is it any chance of that ?

[robwelsh 354]

and i dont want a glossy finish, just what the grain to become darker and stand out more thanks

I use boiled linseed oil mate, rubbed in with the palm of my hand cos that warms the wood up and opens the grain up so it soaks in a treat.costs about £1.50 ish from wicks or b and q.. Alternately you can use walnut cooking oil from tesco, costs about a quid. Both'll bring the grain out and keep a matt/sort of silk finish.

I use 2parts walnut 1part balistol oil warmed up.

 

in a warm room with hands just apply a thin coat and leave for 1 hour

 

then a good rub again with the hands gets the finish i like

 

not to shiney

il have to take a look at both linseed and walnut oil like, can you scrw it up though? because if you can , no doubt i will lol

[gurtwurz 793]

not really rob, cos if you could then by now i would've done! just dont overdo it mate, give it a go every few days or so and over time the stock should both darken up a bit and the grain will be there for all to admire

 

cheers, wurz

Hi Rob,Daystate stocks tend to be dry so oiling straight away is recommended .I use philips walnut on mine,i put 5 drops in the palm of my hand ,rub hands together and then apply all other the stock and generating heat to help the oil soak into the wood.You could also add 1 drop of alkenet oil to the walnut oil which will bring out the grain.Don't forget to take the action of the stock and oil the inside of the stock to give it total weather protection.little but often is the best way to do it mate.Enjoy your new rifle
