K98 update - used a strong cleaner to remove oily marks and muck from the stock plus some very light wire-wool treatment on one rough patch. Excess cosmolene removed from all the metal parts with methylated spirit & Parker-Hale Express Gun Oil applied to all moving parts.

And then every evening this week I've rubbed in a good beeswax polish over the whole stock, left to dry overnight and then buffed every morning.

It now looks and feels really super - that lovely 'swirly-grain' laminated stock so typical of war-manufactured K98s together with the original red glue. Yum yum ! ( to use a technical term... [img]smile.gif[/img] )
