DUNKS Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I DOUBT ANYONE WILL KNOW BUT I WILL ASK. Many shotgun stocks are "oil finished" as to varnish. Lets take Browning as an example. I have a varnished stock Browning and it's a very nice pleasant finish. The newer models are OIL finish. Now oil finish to most of us is a time consuming process which can take weeks to complete. I know top end guns are in fact finished this way but I am sure our Japanese friends do not go to this trouble or time. So what do they spray on, and I am sure it is sprayed on for speed and economy? If it's actually oil it will take ages to dry and if it has rapid driers in it's varnish and not oil. Has anyone been to a factory and seen an OIL finish applied?

vmaxphil Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Apparently my dt10 is a true oil type finish rather than a proper oil finish as beretta would have you believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardigun Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Hi, I have an old Garden Table that comes out for BBQ's. I refinished the top with "Hardoil" that I found on the internet. I personally wouldn't want to use it on a shotgun, but it does produce a hard shiny finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tru oil is really a varnish with a hard coat. I have used it. The new 525s are oil finished and do look good. I am sure I;s proper oil. But what oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Try Liberon Finishing oil . Add a couple of drops of Terebine , leave to "dry" then hand buff with a drop or two of silicone oil .Takes a few coats but you can get a hard wearing gloss finish .
