Use only 100% tung oil, not the "tung oil finish" products sold in stores.
The only place that still sells real tung oil these days is
https://www.realmilkpaint.com/shop/oils/pure-tung-chinawood/.
It is what raw stocks were finished with by the military. Blo was used in the field for touchup.
Good, I will use this on the new stock. Thanks.

I used Dark Wallnut; it is not as dark as I had hoped, but it does match the color guide on the lable.
The dark repaire lines are Acroglass and unstainable. Wood filler was used to try a rebuild/clean up some checkering. The stock had been repaired years ago after breaking in half at the wrist. A great uncle fell from a boat while exiting with it and tried to catch himself with the gun stock.
Available at Lowes, dries fast, no gloss.
