This is my go to for initial cleaning of a gun stock. It is a traditional furniture cleaner of very early origins and can be found in many antique furniture restoration books, it works well and does not cost an arm and a leg to make up.
4 parts Raw Linseed oil.
1 part Turpentine. I have also used Turpentine substitute, and that also works well, though I do prefer the smell of real turpentine.
12 parts Vinegar. Malt or distilled.
Only one instruction shake the bottle well and use a generous amount on a cloth.
