Weihrauch beech stock maintenance
- Thread starter numbertwo

Some excellent advice on all manners of stock finishes here, thanks to all contributors!
I'm very happy to report that I settled on a Ballistol infused microfiber cloth and I'm super-impressed with the appearance and results from the Ballistol, it makes my rifles glow!
Amazing stuff!

Love it but it does like to shake things loose
What is the recommended torque for stock and trigger guard screws?

I have heard about Renaissance wax for use on many firearms. Just curious though, with it, or any wax, how do you keep it from building up in the checkered areas. Seems it would be kinda hard to keep it out of those areas. Maybe a toothbrush? I've heard Renaissance is great stuff.I have had good results with this product on my HW95L Beechwood stock.

Don’t glob it in there in the first place.
It’s also great on metal parts for rust prevention if you don’t want a greasy gun.

It gets whiped down with the same rag with whatever on it as the rest of the gun ... More then likley a spray lube flavor of the day has been DG/auto spray lubricant..

No, I would never glob it in there intentionally, however, it seems unavoidable that some would get in there.

Never wanted to change my stocks finnish as all are nice walnut or exceptional beech. I use beeswax furniture spray/ polish, doesn't change color, protects from water/ moisture, does not build up, self cleaning when you apply another coat!! Good for the metal as well. Turned on to this stuff by the Amish craftsmen that made our furniture. Been using this stuff as pellet lube and wood protector for over 30 years, never found anything better !!

Before torquing those screws, why not smooth it out with a simple tune so it doesn't shake things loose? Better for your rifle in the long run....

That's what I do, both wood and metal.A Ballistol-infused microfiber wiping cloth is sounding like an excellent solution - simply effective

That works great on my Gibson guitar, I never considered using it on my rifle stocks....I like that idea!I have had good results with this product on my HW95L Beechwood stock.

I keep a microfiber cloth infused with a "light coat" of Ballistol in a thick plastic bag in my shooting bag. After shooting each weapon, I wipe them down with the cloth and then put them back into the rifle case. I might refresh the cloth once a month, preventative maintenance pays off in the long run.

I agree, just humidity alone will cause rust to develop over time if left unchecked, Although the oil doesn't transfer into the wood on most wooden gun stocks of the day due to the types of finishes...it surely doesn't hurt them to wipe the finish down with oil.

Yes but the beech stocks are sealed with a clear laquer. No oils or waxes will get through to it. I have oiled many beech stocks. Some turned out beautiful and some Ghastly. I now would only oil a beech stock if it was awful and could only be improved as with this hw80 stock.

Yes...this stuff is awesome, great for wood and also protects metal. Makes my deep blued rifle look great..also use it to seal my gunstocks by spraying in the cutout for the action. As a pellet lube it is excellent, no build up, easy clean and has improved accuracy in numerous springers.
