I've redone several old Marlin rifle stocks and several Browning shotgun stocks with the "Brownell's Tung Oil" and I have also used "Formby's Tung Oil" .

On "wood" they both did pretty much the same thing .

The biggest difference I noticed was the consistency . Formby's is more like water and the Brownell's stuff is more like syrup , thick oil whatever yo wanna call it . But whatever one calls it the Brownell's pure Tung oil was ALOT thicker .

Back when I Grouse hunted alot I had a little Browning Citori Upland Special 16 gauge I stripped the finish on and redid it with about 30 coats of Brownell's Tung Oil and it worked very nicely . Grouse hunting the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia is a little tough on gun stocks .
