On impulse I bought a Type 38 Bring Back the other day (I'll put up some pics when I get my camera). Metal finish is good, but no cleaning rod or dust cover. I bought it when I saw the intact mum and remembered Tales of The Gun from the History channel when I was a teen telling about the order to deface them...and really, it was the country missing from my Axis Guns.

Anyway, the stock has been stripped to the bare wood. Since the damage is done, what would you guys think is the best thing to do to it? I'm guessing I couldn't match the original lacquer, and I'm not thrilled with that look on guns (looks a little too Nagant-ish). I'm thinking of just rubbing in some lindseed oil.

Horrible idea?
