Finally My 1st Garand

[oldfoneguy]

Just completed the breakdown cleaning and lubrication of the entire rifle.
The stock was wiped down with turpentine twice and left to dry for a day. A light buffdown with 0000 steel wool and a rubdown with BLO. A second buffdown with the steel wool and a 2nd very light coat of oil and 26 hours drying time. I think it came out great. No shine just a sheen exactly what I was working towards and the beautiful grain hiding under that stain came to light. Now it's ping time!
