Pedersoli oiled stock?

[Omahkapi'si]

I wipe mine down with Ballistol. Works fine.

I stripped the stock of a new (2020) Pedersoli because I did not like the look. Looked like a plastic coating. Whatever it was it took 24 house of soaking in a methylene chloride paint stripper and then some periodic scraping. But I got it off. I refinished with successive applications and rubbings using Birchwood Tru-Oil. Now it has a depth of color - much more pleasing to see.

Yeah you can't beat a nice oiled stock. Sounds like a future project.

Hello everyone. Below are some original and restored finishes. The first is a Charleville Napoleonic shellac finish, according to Voluunter (your civil war from my Confederate research) original oil finish, the third a 1892 restored in teak oil, fourth Snider with original shellac, and last a Pedersoli redone with shellac.Tell me the best one

Nice. Thanks for the pics. You have inspired me.
And to answer your question they all look good.
