Ha that’s for my .223 carbon stock
I am reusing the t-bolt synthetic butplate on this as it has a spare mag storage in it

I drench the stock with tung oil and leave it a full week, then use sandpaper soaked in tung oil and go over the whole stock to create a sort of mud. This fills the pores, then leave it another week. Then sand again using finer and finer paper until satisfied with the result. The occasional drop of oil after that will keep it pristine.
