Linseed oil...

[mrclark303]

Raw does dry/surface evaporate flat, but you can buff the wood with a microfiber cloth to the desired Semi Matt finish.

Boiled linseed oil used over years drys hard and slowly builds to a varnished type finish ... Horrible on a military rifle in my opinion.

As said 50/50 thinned linseed allows Penetration and can really give wonderful depth to a finish, then put it on neat until it stops taking it in ... Remove the excess and lightly Polish, job done.
