Look its 25% sunflower oil, 25% linseed oil, 48% Naphtha, and some Japan drier. If you really must have it, you can make a gallon of your own for $30, (.46 cents per oz) or you can spend $15 an ounce.
Lets see 128 oz in a gallon, thirty bucks for two ounces thats $1920 a gallon. .geesh Im in the wrong business.
Kinda like spending 15 bucks for a single loaded round, or reload your own for .46 cents. Your call, and your $$$
What if it was a super-duper gun oil for fifteen bucks an ounce, that was a mixture of 25% motor oil, 25% automatic transmission fluid and 50% kerosene is it still worth $15 an ounce just because it will lubricate your gun? Or would you look for something better and less costly?
Theres a whole bunch of better finishes out there. Spend twenty bucks on a quart of Dailys Ship n Shore, give it a try; my solid oak kitchen table is finished with it its had boiling water (teapot) spilled on it, 5 years in use, two teenagers, no water marks, no white when wet, no peeling, my wife wipes it down with a damp sponge 3-4 times a day with no issues. And yes I use it on stocks.
I use the Ship n Shore & teak oil on my boats wood its in all types of weather and outdoor conditions: constant sunlight, always wet, and even a bit of fish blood it holds up great.
When was the last time you exposed your guns to those conditions? Then sprayed them down with bleach and a good hose rinse when you got it home.
I wouldnt even attempt that with a linseed or sunflower oil finish.
