I have refinished a few rifles and many many handgun stocks. I've tried Formby's Tung oil mixture (NOT pure Tung Oil), pure Linseed Oil, a few different Polyurethane's and Hopes 100% Tung Oil. I have never used the B/C Tru-oil so I can't comment on that one, but I can tell you that all I ever consider now is the Hopes PURE Tung Oil.

It is very easy to use, allows a stain to be use first, dries thoroughly and quickly, gives the option of glossy or mat finish depending on weather or not you steel wool it on the final coat. The best part is any time you need a touch up just lightly hit the stock with 0000 steel wool and apply another coat or two. By the way, it never goes bad because its 100% pure - no solvents to separate.

Other than on Browning shotguns I do not like a super glossy shine, and the Tung oil gives me a nice satin durable finish.
