Finally getting around to doing a proper finish on my CMP Special, and trying to decide which kit from Garand Gear i should use between Linseed or tung oil.
rifle is built on an H&R receiver and i want to use the appropriate type to the rifle.
what i can find seems to show that the finish started as Linseed, switched to Tung between '41 and '43 when it went back to Linseed at least for the remainder of WW2 due to supply issues with Tung (aka "China oil"). but so far i haven't personally come across data showing what was used AFTER 1945.
info and suggestions would be appreciated.
