Adding sheen or waxy buildup to match stock repair?

[painter777]

Have you tried wiping the entire stock down with a Damp Mineral Spirits rag to see if it rids it of the Tacky feel?

If this works, I'd then wipe on some Lo-sheen Tung Oil on the dull area. After drying you could then buff down with a lemon oil polish.

If you use the polish first, you'll have problems getting the Oil of choice to adhere.

The problem with spot repairs using RLO/BLO are just what you've pointed out.
A stock that was originally dunked in a heated vat of RLO....
Then having who knows what put on it over the next 70+ years.
Just wiping RLO/BLO on in no way will yield same results as the dunking.
