Hi guys,

I bought a very nice (in my opinion) 1903 a3 last year. It looks to be all original, but I'm no expert. The only issue I have with it is that the stock oozes oil... excessively. I have to wipe it down every time I pull it out of the safe. I've heard that over oiling can have this affect, but from what I've seen this is generally located around the tang etc. This rifle seeps oil from the hand guard, grip, receiver area, just about everywhere. Does anyone have a remedy? Or should I just keep wiping? I don't really mind that my hands smell like oil every time I handle her, but I more concerned that this could result in a problem with the stock down the road.

thanks in advance,

Paul
