Okay. I get it. The original M1icon Carbine stock finish was Raw linseed oilicon (RLO). However, the CMPicon indicates that real Tung Oil is a suitable finish/refinish for the M1 Carbine stock. Is the use of only RLO an attempt to maintain the authenticity of the stock? Or, is real Tung Oil a problem? I find it hard to believe that real Tung Oil will in any way hurt a carbine stock (although I am essentially a novice).

I would appreciate your thoughts on this subject.

(And yes - based upon the CMP site info, I have already used real Tung Oil on a stock - and it looks great).

Thanks in advance for your comments!
