WBspectrum, my garand came with raw walnut, too. It was incredibly dry. I searched around for a good finish to put on it to darken it up and give it some moisture. Lots of people recommended Toms mix, so I bought some and tried it. I'm extremely happy with the finish. Put it on my Finn m39 as well. I still have enough left for 2-3 coats. It's yours if you want it and can pick it up. I'll try to find a pic of my stock and post it up.
