sambu13 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 i thought the silica gel was bad because it drew all the moisture out of the wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realtreedave Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 most stocks are varnished or oiled/waxed to maintain their moisture content.a few sachets of silica gel wont hurt in the bottom of your gun cabinet,besides ive even had new rifles supplied with a sachet in the packaging :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 One point, they will become saturated sooner or later. Check the colour when new and if this changes stick them in a warm oven until the original colour returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
