How to Build a Muzzleloader Rifle Kit | Part 5 | Applying the Finish

Here at Muzzle-Loaders.com, our customers often call with questions about traditional rifle kits. While they might look complicated at first glance, the process is easily accessible for most laymen. We've put together a step-by-step video series that will take you through the entire process, from taking inventory of your parts to the final assembly.

In Part 5, we apply a Tung Oil finish to the stock, bringing it into final completion.

Tung oil is a wonderful material that's cost effective, easy to use, and offers excellent aesthetic control.

Materials/Tools:

• A clean rag
• Disposable/rubber gloves.
• Something on which to prop the stock
• Tung oil
• Very fine (2500 grit or finer) sandpaper/sanding sponge.

Each rifle kit is unique, and some things that aren't issues on our kit may be issues on yours. If you have questions about a kit you're putting together that we don't cover in the series, feel free to call our expert customer service team at 855-236-5000 or let us know in the comments and we'll walk you through it.
