Custom T/C

Bought a 54 Cal from a boy in Alaska. Decided it didn't shoot as well as I liked so I bought a GM barrel and just for the heck of it, refinished the rifle with Tong oil. Turned out good and shoots really well ( 1" in 50) with 75 grs of FF2. My question, is that I use a mixture of olive oil and beeswax to protect the barrel (my form of bore butter). I have also found that if I use this mixture to wipe the stock down it really seams to help the looks. Does anyone else do this sort of thing?

Do you have any pictures of your beast? OH, and I use olive oil for my stock. It works good.

Do you use the olive oil as a finish on the stock, or just to keep it in good condition after the finish had set?

I do! same mix...olive oil and bees wax. sometimes I use bore butter. I wipe the barrel first and take whats left on the rag or patch and wipe the entire stock.

I use the olive oil/ Beeswax as a polish more or less to help protect the finish. I ususally finish using Tong Oil
