VARNISHED STOCK
Moderator: joseyclosey
Duncan, I use a stuff called "Leinölfirnis" in German,
the americans say BLO to it, boiled linseed oil.
Be sure to remove all the varnish with alcohol and than use thinned BLO(use turpentine to thinn the BLO.
Another well proofen stuff is a 1/3 mix of BLO, turpentine and bees wax.
Just wipe in a very thin coat of il everytime, let dry and repaet until you are satisfied.
Not o much a a time, because is gets sticky than!!!!!!!!
I finaly use a wood polish with bees wax, seals the stock good against moisture.

Chris,
Vielen Dank für die Information.
What do you think.
Should I keep the stock like this and accept the fact that it has one or two less good looking spots on it
I mean....if the varnish is original.
The rifle was manufactured in 1940 and does show some scars.
I even like that on my Mosin Nagants

Here is the last job I did with Linseed Oil
The bench loader is mounted on a piece of French Barrel Oak. It has 2 thinned and 6 full coats of oil.

I've been thinking about removing the wood plugs.
What's the best/easiest way to do that Chris
I also will replace the muzzle extension.
Because of the KWKG they removed the bayonet lug.

THE STRIPPING HAS STARTED!
I have just used a varnish remover and a tooth brush and then cleaned it off with water. It is now drying overnight.

Rifle looks good so far - now for the rest of the coats -
once a day for a week
once a week for a month,
once a month for a year,
once a year for life
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.
