I didn't like the glossy finish on my Marlin 30-30, so I removed the receiver, hand sanded it down to bare wood and brushed it with tung oil. When it dried, gave it a good hand rubbing with 0000 steel wool. Then I brushed it with tung oil, followed by another hand rubbing...and then repeated the ritual 15 times.

That project took over a month and was done nearly 18 years ago, but the ultimate compliment came recently when my Marine son told me that he would like that sweet rifle for his own someday. I will oblige him.
