I am looking to finish a wood stock on an old .22 rifle. Back when I was doing a lot of woodworking, I would sand, apply stain, and polyurethane with more sanding, poly, repeat, etc.
Why is it that a lot of stock refinishing I see use stain and then oil instead of polyurethane? Is there a preference for oil for guns vs. poly?
