Seller information
Manufactured & Distributed by Winchester Restoration Products
This
is the original Winchester Pre-64 Stock Oil developed, used and sold by John
Kay in his Winchester Restorations Business for many years. (Both the 2 oz and the 4 oz bottles
contain the same oil.)
John
Kay was a master restorer of old Winchester guns and his company was Winchester
Restorations. In 2008 he had to retire for health reasons and his Stock Oil was
no longer available for sale. I have arranged to sell it. This is John’s oil formula, which is a
100% linseed oil-based formula and probably as close to the original Winchester
oil as any available. I have used
a number of those advertised as “Winchester” stock oil. Most are not a real
oil-based formula, or they do not use or use very little linseed oil. Many/most have a varnish type base or
content. If a formula can be
applied in 2 or 3 coats over a few days, then it is not a true linseed oil
formula like Winchester used for most of their early guns, until the 1940’s.
Using
a linseed oil based product takes time and effort. A real oil finish goes into
the wood not on the wood. Using
this product will take 30 or more days to complete the restoration and will
give an original Winchester type satin hand rubbed oil finish. It can be used
on old stocks & forearms and on new wood. It is not just a coat on the wood surface like a varnish. If
you want something you can complete in a week or less, this is not what you
want. I will be glad to send you the complete instructions before you purchase
so you know what is involved. You will get out of your restoration what you put
into it.
I
have used this product on about 200 old Winchester 73, 92 & 94 rifles and
carbines with excellent results.
One bottle 4 oz bottle contains enough oil to restore several guns,
usually 5 to 10. The 2 oz bottle is for touch-up restoration and/or refinishing
1 to 3 rifles.
John
Kay also had a great Rust Bluing Solution. If you are interested in it let me
know and I can tell you where to get it.
Instruction on how to complete a restoration or just a touch-up
restoration will be sent if you contact the seller as instructed above, select the
“me” after my
ebay name: bear-in-texas.
