Oil and wood

[BillPa]

But occasionally a little excess gets missed and apparently this is what I found yesterday under the tang of my 1895.

Like a lot of other things I do outside of "tradition" all my rifles are stored standing muzzle down or hanging upside down. It may not be the classic way of showing them off, but I want any excess oil to drain away from the stock and action, not into them.

A small example...


Over the years I've bedded, re-bedded, repaired or replaced too many oil damaged stocks. Of course I didn't complain to much, the money was good!
