What is the original finish on stocks from Finland?
A. There is a lot of variation in the finishes used over time and between the Army and Civil Guard. Many early Civil Guard stocks and some Army stocks are varnished. A mixture of equal parts beeswax, turpentine, and flaxseed oil is known to be one of the finishes used on M39s and other 1940s production.
