If you've got the pores of the wood completely filled, the stock IS sealed.
These oil finishes are IN the wood, not on it. They don't usually have a surface finish.

I'm not all that "up" on Tung Oil finishing, but I think you can apply a few drops of the Tung and rub it over the stock, then let it dry on the surface as a surface finish.

Another option is to allow it to get really dry, then buff it with a piece of clean, new burlap to polish the wood to an egg shell luster.
Then apply a couple of coats of a good wax.
Johnson's Paste Wax or Renaissance Hard Carnuba are good.
