After watching what seems like every video on stock cleaning/refinishing/maintenance (literally, probably 100+ videos) trying to find the best process, I think your video is my favorite. Thanks for taking the time to show your method!
Good useful information here.
Really nice way to restore a old stock without ruining its value!
Steve & Kathy Lane thank you!
For people in Australia - Mineral Spirits = Mineral Turpentine (Diggers) brand to be exact ,sold at your faithful Bunnings.
Not to be confused with Paint Thinners, Methylated Spirits, Kerosene or White Spirits. Great Video by the way, I followed your instructions for my 1917 Swedish Mauser M96 and it came up magnificent. Thank you @GunTimez.
according to wikipedia, mineral spirit (US) = white spirit (UK) = mineral turpentine (AU/NZ)
i have news for you the original finish well it left years ago simple as that it also didnt have all the nicks in it from the factory also linseed oil will go rancid and will have to be done over and over again refinishing is not a cardinalsin if done right like if your leaving the nicks and dents in it because oh it reminds you of the time you dropped it or grandpa threw it in the corner then just leave it as is and let it rot you can get a beautiful finish with truoil and you can make it look like an oil finish if you know how to many people worry about patina and yet they dont know what patina is
Thanks so much for this video, it really helped me with my mid 30's Remington 14 TargetMaster
Thank you for your info...My stock was sprayed with lawyer. So I used acetone, but I saved the finish...Just applied the boiled linseed oil.

Very informative video. Thank you
Looking very nice.
MrMarkmac85 thanks !!
Looked great before you removed the patina imo. Now it looks like every other beat up stock.
Just curious but if a stock was just finished with oil and you are using mineral spirits to remove it before your re-apply oil isn't that technically "refinishing" just to original specifications?
Thank you for confessing your sins to us
I have a few old gun stocks to clean but I was very concerned about protecting the finish. Thanks for the video. Also, would you recommend alcohol 91% for grime on the wood or metal?
I have a seriously beat up surplus m1 carbin. I cleaned up the stock with mineral spirits and let the pieces dry but I've read that cosmoline, grease, etc. will leach out over time (it was pretty nasty). I like your process here but am wondering if I should skip the linseed oil sealing and just apply the coat of stock sheen for now...thanks! Great technique!
@MICHAEL CALLAHAN Thank you! I'm going to try this!
Wrap stock in paper towels and put in truck on warm day. Come out and wipe it down every few hours. Cosmo will leach out. Heard of folks doing this in a warm oven but not advised if you are, and want to remain, married.
Beautiful!!!!!👍👍👍
Interesting....🤔
Interesting and certainly a clean rather than a refinish. I would though.... Many military firearms had oil finished stocks so should oil not be reintroduced after the clean?
I want to do something sympathetic to a Mauser C96 stock (Mauser Broomhandle) and I'm just thinking about the best way to go about it?
Could you please complete the series or at least show us the finished rifle - please?
So the guy at Midway USA used lacquer thinner but you used mineral spirits. Is there really any difference between using either of them?
How long does it dry?
I’m guessing you are from Wisconsin?
Not stock eat shin
Your huge rug eat it😃💜💜💜
After=before
Vaste jobs
Tell me your from Minnesota without telling me your from MN - Oofdah
Lmao! Your close!
so , one coat of linseed oil is all you need ?
I applied a lot and let it soak for a couple hours before wiping off the excess.
Its a sin no matter how much you pay for your rifle. Destroyed history is the same no matter the price.
I'll tell you what. I'll bring you the rifle and you tell me what the years of built up dirt on the stock mean.
