CMP Special Field M1 Garand Help

[Thechap1]

I recently purchased an Field Grade M1 Garand from CMP. I must say I am impressed with CMP. The rifle came with a new walnut stock. Is there anything I need to do to the bare stock? Linseed oil, ect? Oh by the I was guessing on the Linseed oil. I appreciate the help.

CMP's stocks come from Boyds and there reworked by the guy's at DuPage Trading. Boyds stocks come very dry and DuPage only puts on one coat of oil. So yea, oil it up until it won't hold anymore or until your happy. Use what ever you like Linseed, Tung or even Teak.
