The linseed oil and varnish mix is working pretty well and really soaking in the endgrain.

I used the Murphy oil soap diluted per the instructions and at first I thought it removed some finish but what i think due to the location (around the floor plate and toward forend basically left hand position when carrying or firing)the finish was already removed my handling and oils from your hands etc took its place and the oil soap removed that. The color still seems to be there just more dull than surrounding area. I ordered some ren wax which should be here in a day or two. Should I put anything on these spots or just go straight tot he ren wax.
