About 25 years ago I did a number of Tung Oil finishes on a variety of guns and was satisfied with the results. I used Tru Oil as a base/pore filling coat and then multiple coats of Tung Oil. Lots ... |

Another amen to Chukarman (apologies to Skeettx). Probably have a couple thousand 16 gauge CFs, hulls and live rounds--a few hulls even having the Upland logo on the side!. Don't think I ever threw ... |

Given my recent quarry of mostly wild quail, often in a fence row thicket, I'll gladly take what I ended up with, as open chokes are needed, particularly when shooting steel 6s or 7s at quail on feder ... |
