Boiled linseed oil
Thanks for the input. I just kept going with the stripper gel until I got to bare wood. Grip area and buttstock upper and lower surface took longest to let go.
I was worried that the stripper would damage the white spacer on the pistol grip, which I am guessing is plastic, but it didn't.
I don't care for the Tru oil look as it is glossy and leaves a surface urethane layer which then scratches. I also like the hand-feel of wood, without the layer of "plastic" film.
I have used raw tung oil on SKS stock refinishes (and 2000 sq feet of wood floor at our cabin) and liked the look and feel. I think the product I am using will approximate that.
My understanding of BLO is that it has urethane/polyurethane added. Is that correct? If not, I will reach for it next time.
