dapper Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Just wondered can you, should you polish the stock of your gun. Wooden of course! If so what do you use? Is it just furniture polish? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groach1234 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Yes i do, i use linseed oil and it brings a stock up well, have used tru stock oil before and it left a sticky tacky feel to the stock so i didn't like it, have also used another walnut stock oil that left a yellow tinge to the action where the wood met it and the oil got onto the action. So i would say linseed oil applied to the hand and rubbed in that way is the way forward. George Edited June 1, 2009 by groach1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Tru oil is an excellent product, but it must be left to dry before polishing it. It seals the wood grain and protects it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 If you are talking just polish then furniture polish will do or some bees wax . I once rubbed a stock down and refinished it with just coat after coat of bees wax and got a fabulous finish . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 If the stock is sealed ie laquered then a good furniture polish can be used, if not Walnut or Linseed oil is good, especially if hand rubbed, if you want to seal the stock then use Tru oil or the like.

Windknot Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I use a product called Woodoc- here's the link: http://woodoc.co.uk/ It doesn't leave a residue on the outside of the wood, or build up in the chequering. If it's good enough for antique furniture it's good enough for gunstocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
