comparing two gun oils

Post by arnie »

Has anyone had experience with Old West Snake oil and the new oil SPG has come out with? Primarily interested in how it looks on stocks.

I have used Old West Snake Oil as a wood and metal protectorate oil for years. It is blended with waxes to maximize the strength or time that it stays in place. I have never used it on bare wood, just finished with whatever was the oil/varnish in place. I wholehartedly recommend this product as a conditioning or field preservative. Arnie - glad to be of assistance this time around.

Thanks Stoneke, I will have to get some to try on a few stocks that have gotten a little grungy over years of use.

For stocks, I use straight Sweet Almond oil. Just a dab and it covers great. Wood looks awesome.
