Looking after your wood

[aynesie]

Just curious how everyone cares for the woodwork on their guns. I have an XS Pro and the manual states to just use Legia spray. I also have an AYA No2 but unsure what's the best way to look after it.

CCL gunstock conditioning oil is about as good as anything you can buy off the shelf . Just a drop and rub  with your palm until you feel your skin goes warm . A bottle should last you 15 or 20 years

Trade Secret GP Wax Polish for me. Rub it in, buff it away and enjoy a wonderful finish...and smell!

As above, tiny jar will last circa 10years I reckon!

I've got a ultra xs pro with superb wood , i refreshed mine with boiled linseed oil     a tiny amount  !!    have to say it looks good !

That's all I use on my CG. Does a brilliant job at about a 10th the cost of the fancy branded secret recipe stuff.

I recently stripped back the CCL stock oil finish on my Beretta because it had become too shiny, so much so that it looked like gloss varnish. Got it back to a nice satin finish, then made the mistake of reading the marketing blurb for Browning Legia spray…..now it’s glossy again

Did the Legia spray affect the finish?

Legia whilst it's very good I wouldn't want to refinish a stock with it

Renaissance wax and wood silk to try and keep mine looking good

Yeah I liked the sound of the protection that the Legia claimed….just made the wood look shiny again!! I assume it’s got silicons in it. Much like the crap those pop-up car washes spray all over your car after they’ve washed it to make the water bead on your paintwork!
