Mine went together with little fitting. I had to clearence the Op-Rod cut in the buttstock where it was rubbing Then I had to free-float it at the nose of the stock so the barrel wouldn't lift.
This one got two coats of Minwax special Walnut stain then, two coats of Minwax Tung-Oil finish. The finish isn't glossy because it's hand-rubbed.
As for the Tung Oil vs. Boiled Linseed Oil deal. The Arsenals had to quit using Linseed Oil early(Around 1942) because their main supplier, China, was Occupied by the Japanese so, they used Tung Oil from early 1942 til the end of production.
sorry, $110.00 plus shipping.
