Stock Nose Deteriorating

[imarangemaster]

Dry air with low humidity acts as a desiccant. Here in central California, shovels, axe handles, fence posts, everything starts to look like your stock in just a few years. Soak it with some raw linseed oil, and that should stop it. As my carbine has a decent Linseed finish,, I wipe down with Ballistol occasionally, stock and metal. Seems to keep it fresh.
