My main wipe down product:

Buy where ever cheapest. Always have a couple of cans on the go.

Then Kleenex extra large, as found in the square boxes. They push down shotgun barrels well.

I tend to use Legia spray too. It’s also fine for wood, and doesn’t have any off putting smell.
(For shotgun barrels I use kitchen roll…)

If it’s a Walnut oil finished stock, new ones in particular can be quite dry. I’ve had that with BSAs, FX, Webley etc. You’ll see people swear by different things, but for me the CCL gunstock conditioning oil is excellent for properly sealing the wood from the elements and enhancing it, whilst maintaining an understated matte finish. Obviously oils (of any type) are no good for varnished finishes. Takes a tiny bit of effort for a few days, but follow the instructions and you can’t go wrong.

A little goes a loooong way; a bottle last years too.

How would the CCL gunstock conditioning oil differ from say David Nickerson Walnut oil in terms of overall performance and finish ?

I have a walnut Prosport stock (bought new) that I think needs treatment using a suitable product !

CCL oil is basically linseed with additions. Linseed is relatively cheap and with refined raw linseed absolutely any ham fisted bodger can oil finish a stock without it going wrong because any surplus left on the surface does not go gummy. Instructions are not available on the bottle but just slap it on and then more when the previous coats have been absorbed until it will not absorb any more. Any natural oil will give a matt finish that can, if required be polished to a shine.
