I have a double barrel/side by side shotgun that is about 30 years old. It is just an inexpensive plain Jane generic gun that never gets used anymore. But, it has sentimental value so, I'd like to keep it in good shape if it's not too much trouble.
The wood stock seems to be drying up so it's a little rough. Is there something that I can put on it to make it look and feel close to new again? I'd rather not sand it down, steel wool it or completely refinish it. I am hoping that there is something that I can rub on it that will work. Someone suggested that I just use a little bit of regular gun oil (Hoppe's oil) on it and let it soak in. Would this work or will it damage it? Thanks for you replies.
