Linseed oil has pretty much been used on firearms for many many years. Personally, I prefer pure Tung oil over Linseed. It dries much faster and looks the same as Linseed. The other thing I would say is if you want to use Linseed oil, I would get it from an Artist supply store. They carry a much purer form of linsed that dries much faster than the Home Depot/ Hardware Store types of oil. Good luck on the gun.
