Leicpigeon1990 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Just wondering if anyone can help with this one, i am sure someone will be able to. I have a cogswell & horrison single 20bore hammer gun, which is folding to. Looking at the gun stock,the butt section appears to be dull/dry compaired to the forend. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any oils or which ones are safe to use on the stock to bring it back to life. thanks chris Edited August 24, 2011 by Leicpigeon1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeker Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) CCL Gunstock conditioning oil ... or any of the stock refininishing oil kits .. I've used Almond oil (nice smell).. but its easier with all the 'artistss oils if they're boiled or refined first Edited August 25, 2011 by seeker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straightshooter1 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) try this stuff or boiled linseed oil but remember less is more and rub it in with the palm of your hands heating it first by rubbing your hands together but it does depend on the finish on there allready Edited August 25, 2011 by straightshooter1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
