Yeah, Linseed oil, or BLO is what I remember reading about them using up until somebody found a cheaper and greater supply of Tung oil.

I know I could've gone with polyurethane or tru-oil and saved a hineyload of time- but there's just something that calls to me to give the rifles a little extra time and sweat.
