Bought a walnut tx a while back, today I tried to oil the stock, but the oil will not soak in, I think it must have been finished with wax, is there a way to remove a wax finish?

White spirit should do it
6 months is a long time

I think they are finished with a laquer

Would white spirit affect the colour? and pretty sure it's not been lacquered

Methylated spirits? Would that be an option?

Wax will slow but not stop stock oil - it is dissolved by oil albeit slowly. You have almost certainly got some kind of lacquer/polyurethane finish - some of them are matt so don't go by the lack of shine.
