I have a really nice Israeli converted 98k in 7.62mm, CE 44, but the Israeli stock on it was not in the best of shape. I located a new stock on this site that had no finish and I want to restore it to look original. The stock is beech and I'm not certain what the Israelis applied to their stocks, but I'm thinking it was not linseed oil. The old stock, and others I have seen, seem to have an oil based finish that is somewhat "built up" on the stock instead of having been absorbed by the wood. I'm trying to achieve the rich, golden look of original stocks and I know the beech wood contributes to that appearance but clearly the finish applied to it does also. I'm attaching a photo of a rifle I saw on the internet as an example of what I want the finished stock to look like. Can anyone help? Thanks!
