M 39 stock "Finnishing"

[ks_wayward_son]

I received my M39 BAV 1 Fin from SOG yesterday. That rifle is niiiiiiiice...came with an additional sling too. SOG has done well lately for me IMHO. Question about the stock...it looks completely raw and unfinnished (actualy it is Finnish, but...). What do you fellows recommend about stock work? To me it looks like its screaming for a nice BLO treatment, but want to stay true to the cause.

To a collector it's probably saying, "LEAVE ME ALONE !!!".

Proceed with caution. If you BLO, one light coat only.
