I've never understood folks that bash things they've never tried.
Snake Oil doesn't make your stock "shiny" except for 20 minutes when it's still wet.
Rory,
I've never tried spray-can Varathane on my Savage stocks, either. I don't need to have first-hand experience at it, I just have to look at the work of others. From the many pictures on this forum, or on GunBroker, it is
obvious when a weapon owner has used SnakeOil, whether 20 minutes or 20 weeks old. To each, his own. SnakeOil has its place. So does re-bluing and sand/revarnish; it makes a tire old gun "look nicer". Shoot the messenger or not, there are collectors outside this forum that think "original finish" should be original, and adjust their offers accordingly.
