What a beauty! New TX200 HC .. Amazing Walnut stock from Redbeck 👌

Lovely striping on that, looks good as is but get a few coats of oil on that and it will really pop :)

Air Arms stocks always seem to be a bit dry from new

Enjoy :)

That’s the plan 👍 any recommendations on a decent oil? I’m not keen on a varnished look, more of a Matt finish is what I like

I have always just used multiple coats of boiled linseed oil, everyone will have their own answer in regards to stock oils etc and I'm sure some of the dedicated stock ones are good but in my opinion they aren't necessary, and like you I don't like too much of a shiny or vanished finish

This is my S500 (no longer with me) which has some nice striped walnut like yours, a few coats of linseed oil gave me the below result, which I think was rather pretty

That is lovely. I do however wish they would do away with the 'fish scaling' for a more traditional stippling.

I agree, I’m hoping the ‘scaling’ looks a little better after some oil. Second bit of walnut I’ve bought recently that seems far too dry! Lovely stripes on it though
