No 1 Mk 3 Rescue

[BVZ24]

If it's one of those ishapore dp stocks, I had some luck sticking them in a black garbage bag in the sun for a couple days to get the cosmoline out. I do this after I have removed the finish with 5 minute remover and a paint scraper. I follow up with quad zero steel wool if needed.
Mine usually end up a dirty blonde color.
I found that the most half assed way to get it to look good for your average de-sporter is to use a brown/red dye. Do the recommended oil schedule with linseed or Tung oil, and go finish with Tung Oil Finish.

If I do it more correctly I mix dye directly in food grade flax seed oil, and heat it to just below boiling before I apply. I mix in turpentine in for the first few coats.
