it was called linspeed basically linseed with some turpentine like stuff added to it so it had more a hard finish. I don't know if it is made any longer, but Truoil is a similar product.

How to do the World's best oil finish
I hate doing wood work and especially stock refinishing, but over a 30 year career and for person use I was forced to do so enough to finally find a GOOD oil finish that looks like a real custom oil finish should look like. Here's my directions to get a true custom gun oil finish with the...

This makes a phenomenal finish that is very tough. It's somewhat labor intensive, but worth it.
After I had depleted my meager supply on the Tru Oil real oil finish…..not the original tru oil…….i ordered a pint of the Minwax Antigue Oil Finish. The oil finish by tru oil….not the Tru Oil shiny stuff, but the Tru Oil oil finish….i did 4 hand rubbed coats. Low buildup formula, It soaked up into the wood, and gave that walnut just a hint of Winchester red. I steel wooled the whole stock, removing almost all of the surface finish, and put the first coat of Minwax Antique Oil finish on. After it set for about five minutes, I buffed it all off. That first coat has the soft glow you get from real oil hand rubbed finish. I’m going to wait a couple of days, and put on the second coat. I think three coats in all, after using the other oil finish, and my CZ Classic 452 will be ready to reassemble. I have a machined bottom metal I purchased when they were available, that will be the crowning touch. The barrel was reblued by a girl, working at Triple River Gunsmithing in Missouri. Excellent work. I have some more rifles to get reblued, but, unfortunately, the guy that owned the shop has passed away…..and the shop has closed. Now, to find a place that does bluing I can afford………..my number one BRNO, my number 4 BRNO, etc…….I like the old rifle formula…..real wood, and real blued steel.

Danish oil is good shit. It penetrates and also hardens. A very good natural finish.
ETA: also available locally in big box DIY stores if applicable.
