The nib Zastava ZPAP, arriving in a few days, has nice walnut. Apparently, whichever stain was applied to the walnut on these Zastavas.
A factory video by Zastava USA suggests simply a very light rub with 0000 steel wool, then lightly rubbing in Boiled Linseed Oil, then immed. wiping away the excess.
I've decided to wait months before considering any nice oil-based stain on the wood - If at all.
A very astute, experienced milsurp collector friend has used Ballistol on both leather and wood.
He said that the leather gets darker, but no mention whether it slightly darkens wood (?).
I'm mostly curious whether Ballistol, lightly rubbed on the wood protects it as well as BLO?
