Get some oxalic acid if you haven't already and take that wood to the next level

That right there is exactly what your next step should be.

Got a sticky or thread on the process?

How about using a Tru-Oil finish? If too shiny for your taste, simply knock off some of the sheen using very fine steel wool. I wonder what the Yugoslavs to originally finish those fine rifles?

Barkeepers Friend powder is pretty easy to find. Order off Amazon.ca if necessary.

how to use bayo?

 

[marshall]

I had a new one maybe 20years ago and it looked super, nice dark stock, with the grenade fold up sight on it. At these prices I should have hung on to it I guess.
It was unfired.

how to use bayo?

There is a cuff which you pull and then rotate the bayonet 180 degrees around and it locks into place. It is attached by a screw and can be taken off relatively easily although they usually come tack welded to prevent them coming loose.

Depending on the reason you bought it, be careful of what you use on it and do to it, as it may devalue your rifle, if you don't care, then have at it, but if you want it to keep some of its value, check with folks on what is acceptable to use on it without affecting its worth!

I read on another website that BLO is the original finish from the factory. Is anyone able to confirm this? When my rifle gets here, I want to use the correct finish...
