Usually with BLO, I give it a full 7 days of drying time before reassembling the rifle and waxing. This is my first go at a stock using truoil. It came out great, but I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info on how long to wait before reassembly is safe. (Ranging from 2 days to a month.) Firsthand experience anyone?
 
It’s very humid where I live so (in spite quicker drying time with TruOil) I give it as long as possible here. Three weeks if it’s really hot a month or five weeks in winter. Even when it feels dry it can be soft. Ventilation helps. 24/7 with a small fan on it does speed up oxidation a bit.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
