Two LE "Jungle Carbines" and three #4 Mk 1 rifles are on hand.
I finally learned that with no Raw linseed oil (only BLO) in woodworking shops and Loews, a lady at Loews told me that the raw version is the same as flaxseed oil, carried by Whole Foods. We now have a bottle of flaxseed oil.
So how much oil is rubbed into a stock? Is it done in very light applications?
I've never done any sort of treatment to any type of wood in my life, but have heard, read a fair bit about it.
One rifle in particular -a "Jungle Carbine (yes, the #5)- has the yellowish wood and has appeared very bone dry since I acquired it in '09.
