Ole 97

[Caprock]

Well, this one might requiire a tad more Dave. It has no finish left at the wrist and other high wear areas. Is the oil you use similar to what Pilkington sells?

Something quite different that I and a couple friends have started using to hand rub finishes on ML rifles is Arrow that is marketed by Miracle Products. It has to be rubbed in but it is durable and will even go over the top of existing finishes. My 1991 Shiloh was pretty fuzzy from the factory so I started in with Arrow right over the top. About 3 coats later I had a pleasingly warm finish I could live with. It doesn't "build up" and won't stick to metal either.
