Yes, on the oil. You will find those who are fans of raw linseed oil, boiled linseed oil, and tung oil. Just be careful that you do not get "tung oil finish" or the like. They have some varnish mixed in and produce a different look. Clean, but do not sand. Have fun.
My personal choice is a number of thin coats of boiled linseed oil.

Gotcha, I thought it was the other way, made by Quality Hardware for Rock-ola? So it wouldnt be appropriate then for a rock-ola gun?

You are right, not correct for a Rock-Ola.

Ye Gods! Soak that steel in some solvent oil for a few years and then work on it with a toothbrush. Seriously, I'm going to recommend something new here; use WD-40 on it and scrub with the toothbrush. I'm coming out against the WD-40 haters right now, so y'all gird your loins for some heavy action. And for the stock, you are nowhere near being ready for the linseed oil - you can still see the hard finish down in the grain. Use a stripper, maybe 'Citri-Strip' with a hand-held brass wire brush and scrub gently. Wash with really hot water. You most likely will have to stain the wood next. Don't do anything rash - you want to use an alcohol-based stain of dark red/brown. A few days after staining, take linseed oil and cut it 50% with mineral spirits. Brush on and let soak in for a few minutes, then wipe with cheesecloth. Repeat this until it stops absorbing.
