FreshFace Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 My latest acquisition courtesy of the last Holts Auction, Gunmark Arrietta Viscount, with a 15.75” stock. A few very minor rust spots, and stock could do with a refinish, any suggestions welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to try Tru Oil, is that similar to the CCL offering? Edited August 29, 2022 by FreshFace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossliner Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 No won't effect bluing after wipe down with kitchen paper to see the surface rust that comes off then wipe down with oil.no ccl is not tru oil I personally wouldn't use Tru oil very hard to get good finish it dries too fast it's streaky the ccl is more natural luck and easier use the tru oil leaves glossy shiny finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Tru oil is for floorboards. Get somebody who knows what he is doing with walnut gunstocks to work on your nice gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good way of preventing more rust and stock marks is NOT TO LAY IT on the ground or on dead creatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
