Care of Beech Stock

I have recently purchased a S400f with a beech stock. What is the best way to keep the stock in good nick. Do you oil them the same as a walnut stock, if so what is the best oil to use.

All replies appreciated.

I just use light oil after a shooting trip I just wipe down metalwork and woodwork never had a problem, well I did once but that was my fault being lazy and forgetting too give it a wipe over :roll:
Ive never bothered but Napier gun oil seems too be a favourite

After use and in between I give my AGs a nice wipe over with a cotton cloth with some Ballistol oil on.
Very nice for metal and wood stocks too.
Same oil on a cotton patch followed by some dry ones for an occasionally barrel pull-through too.

Ballistol for me too. It's almost a magic oil, good for everything.

Pretty much the only oil for me also. Rog

Balistol will darken the wood slightly, but is still good for the wood and metal.

If you keep a cloth with oil on in a plastic bag it will be available every time you put the gun back :idea:

It's so posh in Cheshire, it rains Ballistol, so we're fine.
