It was necessary to remove 1/4" from the comb of my Benelli Montefeltro for fitting purposes. I am at the tail end of refinishing the wooden stocks with pure uncut ting oil.
I have 2 questions:
1. What is a reasonable range for the number of coats pure ting oil to apply? I already applied 10 coats of pure tung oil over a period of 6 weeks (the first coat was 1:1 Mineral Spirits and ting oil).
2. How long should I wait after the last coat to reassemble the gun and start shooting & otherwise using it? I read that one should wait 30 days before applying protective wax, but do you really have to wait that long before using the gun again?
All comments will be greatly appreciated.
