HoTsHoT-10 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hi all, recently purchased a Winchester Super grade which has just has the stock refinished. I've noticed that after a bit of use the oil on the forend is starting to wear off and has left two lighter patches. There is also a few water marks. Any advice regarding what oil to use and any good methods will be greatly received! The stock at the moment is quite light in colour and smells like it's been treated with linseed oil. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 There are a number of products around e.g. CCL, Trade Secret, True-oil. I've completely stripped and reworked stock and fore grip to good effect using CCL but never done patchwork restoring small worn areas and water stains. There are a number of videos on YouTube on stock restoration which you may find of help. Hopefully someone with patching experience will post advice for you.

deadeye18 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I used Boiled linseed oil on my old Winchester 1200 pump action and it worked a treat, trick with that stuff is to work light coats into the wood until you have the finish you want.
