mickeyfn19 16 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 i dont like to take my gun out of the stock unless i have actually had the gun out so if im doing my weekly once over ill just leave it in the stock. i just thought today. obviously you cant stop the oil from getting on the stock so is the oil hurting the stock. i mean i do try and clean up as much as possible but these always a little left over. will this be damaging the stock?

pianoman 3,589 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 No. There will not be damage to a synthetic stock if a bit of oil gets onto it. Give it a wipe off with a rag. You should always give your rifle a good wipe over with an oily cloth after shooting anyway. Your hands contain oils which will cause corrosion of the blueing so, it's important to clean-off thoroughly the whole rifle with a cloth, oiled with gun-oil, no matter what your stock is made from.
