Default Cleaned those Grips

Hello all,


From the tips and hints section, I followed Ted's advice and cleaned my grips on my Mauser 1940. Worked fairly well, there are a couple of small wounds on the grips (esp. the left side), that are noticeable. Decided to use tongue oil instead of boiled linseed and I have both, maybe added a bit of sheen that I didn't really want. In real life they are much nicer looking than the scanned and copied pictures here. Still overall, they look much better, they weren't really nasty before, but they had grime on them. You can now see the grain of the wood, when before it was hiden


Overall it was worth it to mess with them, that is for sure.


Left picture is after, right is before...

Ed
