Hi all. Just got my Condor Field the other day. Nice little O/U. I have been working to polish up the hinge location for smother operation. I now would like to make the factory furniture look a bit better. Has anyone applied boiled linseed oil to the stock furniture right out of the box or do I need to do some steps before applying. TIA!!

I've just put it on right out of the box on all my wood stocks. i apply with my finger and then polish it off. stay away from any checkering as it is hard to get it out
