So that is the question. I have a 24/47 that has a pretty rough-hewn stock. I'm looking at it and toying with the idea of a little sanding and some fresh tung oil finish. I will use a period specific finish it i decide to go for it. No stains, no type of poly or varnish. FWIW, it's both a shooter and a wall hanger. What say you?
As a side note, I recently acquired a k31 that will likely hang near the yugo mauser. True to Swiss form, it's stock is beat all to hell. I literally couldn't do much with trying to make it pretty. So that's my big hangup... Making one pretty while the other literally can't be.
