I use Birchwood Casey Tru oil and 0000 steel wool.

Apply Tru Oil, let dry, lightly buff with 0000 steel wool. Repeat.

Each application brings a little more gloss. Usually 5-6 applications and it's pretty glossy. Be sure to keep the process as lint free as possible

This is a very easy process. All the work is in the wood prep.

Even faster is to use Gloss polyurethane or lacquer.
Apply a coat and let dry.  Sand lightly, repeat until the grain is totally filled.
Usually no more than 3 to 4 coats.
In addition, these are tough, durable finishes and are what most gun companies use.

Lacquer is faster because it dries much quicker.
