can anyone suggest a good oil for shotgun and rilfe projects

Where do you get your alkanet root in Canada?

Thanks,
Ted

You get it at fabric stores or dye/craft stores. $10 bucks or less for a huge container of root. 2 tablespoons into some BLO, let it sit and become 'RED!' for a few days in an air tight jam jar, filter the root out to have pure oil and have fun!

It's used for women's hair dye, marble soap, in curry etc. PM me for more details.

Mosin, did you take pics of the stock before oiling?

ps: I like the color, reminds be of the old Winchester Pre64 M70 red brown tinge.
