This video demonstrates an unconventional method for cleaning and protecting wooden shotgun stocks using Ballistol, a common internal gun lubricant. It highlights upgrading a budget Maverick 88 with premium Woox furniture, making it comparable in appearance to a higher-end Mossberg 590. The surprising advice focuses on Ballistol's effectiveness for exterior wood care.
Proper firearm care, especially for wood stocks, is crucial to prevent damage. Over-oiling with standard lubricants can degrade wood fibers, leading to compression and cracking, contrary to the myth of natural walnut compression. Using specific stock oils or waxes for different finishes and mineral oil for metal preservation are key techniques. Avoid oil in the chamber to prevent dangerous bolt thrust.
