I have been thinking about glassing my entire gun, to really seal it.
Does anyone have any opinions or experience on this?
Another thought I have is to oil it. I will build my new gun of oak (less expensive) and maybe its just best to really, really oil it?
I have the idea of oil really getting absorbed and protecting the wood while an epoxy seal sits on the surface and if it is broken the wood will absorb water and gett warped, rotten and ruined.
I have been looking for thoughs and facts about oiling in the forum but havent really found a good answer. What oils are good, can it be used with a laminate stock, is oak fine or do I need some special wood?
I have a lot of questions, since Im investing so much time and effort i natureally really want the gun to turn out nicely.
Thanks
