Factory AR15 Stock

[Crpdeth]

I cant figure out what to oil this stock with to return it to its natural black color...It looks as though the oils I use to lube the piece will occasionally wick out, and produce a nice black color, but when I use those same oils on the stock it just turns white again.

Any ideas?

Mateomasfeo: I kind of remember it being that way from the factory, but got worse... Since I had originally used Rusty Duck gun lube for the action, and that had wicked out on the stock leaving a nice black 'area'...I just gave it a liberal dose of that which really made it worse.

Good news though, I just gave it a bath in some Break Free, and it looks like it's going to dry to a nice desirable finish...Hard to beat the CLP! LOL.

Thanks for your response.

I've had good luck with armour-all on my AR's. Go easy or you'll make it slick...

Hmmm, neat idea... Tire Wet seems to creep, somewhat uninvited, into my brain now.

You have to be careful with some of that stuff...those petrochimical solvents may make it look good for a while but over time they ruin the stuff.

That dosen't surprise me a bit SOT...But the CLP is working almost too well, shining like glass, so I wont mess with a good thing.

Thanks for the advice.
