Ok. I have a practice Mauser stock that is ready for this treatment. The barrel bands, butt plate, sling swivels and hardware all show a little rust. How do you treat them and what products do you use. I wiped the stock with some Tru-Oil. Looks like some termites got to the stock at some point so there is a hollow section under the butt of the stock. Probably won't be too bad, lots of stocks have larger holes for tools and such.

No Tru-oil. Tru-oil is a varnish. The Russians were big fans of varnish, but most other nations did not use it - it was much faster to dip the stocks in a vat of hot oil and let them drain for a while.
Mausers, particularly the ones made in Europe, were treated with raw linseed oil (not boiled). Check out my thread in the dremel room: http://www.cotep.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13520 That covers how to rust blue. Or, if you want, you can send me the pieces and I can do them for you.
