New Henry .22 LR
I bought a new Henry .22 LR today because I love the quality and feel of this gun so much. Right out of the box, the Walnut has some powder on it. How do I clean the stock when new and maintenance there after?

You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.
baom, actually I thought about you when I discovered this fine product a few weeks ago because you being an accomplished wood worker would really like the results on more than just rifle stocks. It is a blend of orange oil, carnuba and bees wax. Regards

Just called the local hardware and Yamaha and lawn and garden dealer where I used to work and they have one bottle in stock and it is setting on the desk of the owners son, who I taught to ride a motorcycle many years ago. Still have my employee discount so my prices are always very good. Got to see what happens on my extra Henry Stock and go from there. I love to do the woodworking, building jigs and fixture to make the parts and assemble them is a challenge and fun for me. Finishing is a pain it the butt. Like to use General Finishes stains and finishes and Minwax wipe on poly finished and Formbys tung oil on projects with a lot of small pieces, like the candle lantern shown, made a pair of them for my kitchen and a pair of the schoolhouse clocks also. My youngest daughter has the mate to mine.KAZ wrote:baom, actually I thought about you when I discovered this fine product a few weeks ago because you being an accomplished wood worker would really like the results on more than just rifle stocks.

Very nice work!!! You know how to use all that equipment I've seen in the background of your rifle pictures.The Howard Feed & Wax says to wipe it on and allow it to stand for 20 minutes and then buff. It was $7.48 for a 16 oz bottle which isn't to bad for such a quality product. Regards

I like Birchwood Casey's Gunstock Wax for my rifle stock and wood grips. Carnauba and bees wax. Wipes on easy, dries nice. No slime or sticky feel.

Tried some on my extra Henry butt stock and it looks like a winner, should do a good job on the oak doors in my kitchen cabinets too.

Great!!! Your opinion as an accomplished wood-smith counts for more than that of us non pros. I wish that I could take credit for discovering it, but it was the guys buying these old(made in the 50s) 40X rifles that the government has finally sold on the civilian market. Naturally these old stocks are hungry, and the results with the Howard product is amazing. It has out performed the mega expensive Renaissance wax in this application. Regards
