M1 stock finish oil
I'm new to this M1 thing and want to refinish a stock but want to use the original oil finish. Can anybody tell me what was used on a WWII era stock?

I knew a veteran from the 29th inf living in Oxford, I asked that question , he said whatever they could find.
all ww2 Garand stocks were only ever made from American black walnut

Not to worry on the mistake as it has been rumored for many years and spread just like the "No Stain" was used false rumor. As Philib mentions nothing but Black walnut was WWII but on Garands only. I have a pile of IBM Cherry & or Birch stocks from WWII. They were noted as the only ones using these. Oddily Overton was rumored to have done this for WWII and maybe sold them to IBM? Rick B

Well at least when the other question was asked, if it would hurt to immerse them completely...I knew they soaked them completely.

Try marine grade linseed oil. It goes into the wood, that is why it is used on hardwood rails
