The fins used pine tar, sometimes with oil rubbed in afterwards.

The Finns used a concoction of.... Equal parts beeswax, turpentine, and boiled linseed oil..... there is a guy that makes and sells it... "Tom's 1/3 Mix"
I use it on all my milsurps now. Works great on any gun that would have normally had an oil finish.. which is most of them.
Find info on the product here: Home Page
Previously I used BLO (Boiled lindseed oil), or at times "truoil" (on the trueoil I always knock the gloss down with steel wool. no shiny finsh Milsurps for me. That just looks tacky!)
I recommend the Tom's 1/3 mix highly! It can be used as a protectant on a gunstock, OR as the finish itself. Great stuff easy to use and goes a long way!
