    How much oil should a gunstock take

    Greetings

    Aside from the SSA no1 mk3 i cleaned up recently, i have also been oiling up a NOS stock for a no4. I started the projects at the same time with a new can of 1L Tung oil. That can is well over half empty, probably approaching 2/3 and the No4 stock is still sucking the stuff up, especially on the end of the butt

    Is there a point where it becomes too much?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    When it's saturated and softens on you...I'd give it a good slathering and stop. They soaked the wood over night in warm oil and then removed and drained, wiped it clean.

    Too easy. Only the buttstock is getting oiled now. Everything will sit for a couple of months until i get to drop an action in it
