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:

That covers how to rust blue.

Or, if you want, you can send me the pieces and I can do them for you.
