HDAV Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 If its a proper wood finish then linseed type oil or wax the wax i use on SbS is CCL fine wax polish (available at most gun shops) and used sparingly, if there is a hard finish on the wood varnish type then just keep dry and prevent oil seeming in from the action by storing barrels down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 wd40 or 3 in 1 oil Never put mineral oil on wood it eventually rots it. According to the Fabarm manual it recommends linseed oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Small amount walnut oil from the supermarket on a lint free cloth (big bit of muslin will do), rub it in fast & hard (said the actress to the bishop) as often as you like and the stock'll be fine. The oil also makes a lovely salad dressing - win-win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
