I lied, one last question! How do you know how many coats of oil or when to do I know when to stop?

Ok, I think I'm getting a good idea on how to proceed. Last question: Do I need to oil the whole stock, inside too?

Great info! When you say to leave it unrubbed, do you mean not rubbing the oil off on the last two coats?

Great info! I will definitely be using a scraper instead of chemicals. 1. Is there a difference in how glossy the different oils are? 2. How often do I need to reapply the oil, if ever? 3. Will I need to take the gun apart every time to do so?

I have a CZ 550 that the finish is flaking off. I'd like to strip the finish, then coat in tung oil (I love a matte finish, plus I'd kind of like it to patina itself.) 1. Anyone ever done something like this? (If so pictures!) 2. Is it a good idea? 3. Pitfalls, things to look out for? 4...

I had the opportunity to use a CZ 550 Safari Magnum (European style stock) chambered in .416 Rigby recently on my last Africa trip. Anyone have one they'd like to sell? If you're in Colorado I could trade you for taxidermy work too!
