You can see in the above photo that the first coat leaves a dull finish, but is starting to fill in the grain of the wood stock. Time to lightly sand the finish before the next coat, using a fine grit sandpaper (400 grit) or steel wool. I started out using sandpaper until after the fourth coat, then switched to steel wool. I did a total of 6 coats of Tru-Oil, but the number of coats you’ll need depends on how deep the grain of your wood stock is.

Upon reassembly, the gun is now fit to be on display! It was a pleasure using the Gun Stock Finish Kit from Birchwood-Casey. Not only a great product, but the kit comes with everything you need from sandpaper to cleaning cloths: nice for those who don’t already have those items laying around. The best part about the Tru-Oil is that it not only leaves you with a finish that is tough as nails, but beautifully shows off the natural grain of a wood stock. Sure, synthetics are nice and lightweight, but nothing beats the beauty of a classic wooden stock… Now it’s time to go shootin’! :)
