No4 Mk 2 bedding

[ricohman]

Lots of info here, thank CINDERS. Hopefully the linseed oil helps out.
I applied the first coat using my hands. The wood on the inside sucked it all up immediately and I had to put on 2 more coats before any would sit on the surface. I gave the exterior a coat as well. After 1/2 an hour I wiped it all down and let it sit. This morning it has a nice satin sheen and I think tonight I can give it another coat. No idea if this is helping though.

Before pics




You can see in this pic that the barrel did indeed have its required contact with the forend at some point in time.
