That's my shared secret of the day.
Will need to contact Mr. Casteel; he's only about 35 miles from me. His brother made me a Pennsylvania style muzzleloader in 1976 - for the bi-centennial. What a sweet gun.

Jack,

Are you using the tung oil to cover minor repairs in Tru-Oil finishes, or are you using tung oil to completely refinish the wood over the Tru-oil finish? I have used Casey's Tru-oil finish for years, and also Formsby's Tung oil finish.

I finally finished the second 1891 Argentine Mauser stock 'repair'. I'm happy with the joint; with the color match, not so much...

I did stain the light forward piece, but the wood doesn't seem to like stain...

Anyway, they both resemble Argentine carbines now, instead of pawn shop junk (well, to my eyes they do)...
