MAINTENANCE OF OIL FINISH STOCKS
Keeping the oil-finished wood surfaces on your firearm looking their
best requires only a small amount of maintenance. When the surfaces
become spotted or dull, the affected area(s) can be treated using
rubbing alcohol on a soft, lint free cloth and allowed to dry. A small
amount of a linseed oil-based finish, such as Watco
®
Danish Oil Finish,
Deft
®
Danish Oil Finish, or Formby’s
®
Tung Oil Finish should then be
applied to the surface of the wood with a soft, lint free cloth according
to the manufacturers’ instructions. To treat the checkering, a small
amount of oil-based finish can be applied and then distributed evenly
using a toothbrush or other soft bristled brush.
