Thread: Parker Hale Restoration - Need advice

Risky yep 7 is about right. You can use a bronze brush also to get that oil out of the checkering.
It may sound excessive. But it works. Once it's dry you can then buff it to a nice sheen which hardens it as well. This sheen dulls over time but comes back with another buff up.
Ive not touched the stock on my rifle for around 15months, it's just sat in the safe so not gotten wet. Then sheen is still good
It's up to you really! Sounds like work now but in the long run it will pay off. Make the next coats just light ones though.
