Do i need to have some kind of clear coat to seal it?

I need to finish this rifle so i can make a range trip for it and the new AR i built last night.
Well, that Tru-Oil kit I bought came with stain and then a clear coat. If I remember correctly, I put several layers of the clear coat on.

I'm not sure what else a guy could use but I think you'd want to put something on to seal it after staining.
