Removing Scuff Marks from a Wooden Rifle Stock
Removing Scuff Marks from a Wooden Rifle Stock
What's the best way to remove light "scuff" marks (not scratches) from a rifle stock? I have a 1978 Browning Model 92 Centennial edition in .44 Magnum and I don't want to ruin the stock by removing too much of the finish.
Thanks for your inputs,
Crash

mildest means i would try first is murphy oil soap.
see if they are just scuffs or deeper.
we have lots of luck with the murphy soap on a wide variety of items

If it's not scratched I would think furniture polish would work. I assume it's a polyurethane finish. I have read of using super glue to repair scratches on Browning stocks. They say it buffs to a high gloss.

I have scratches on my Swiss K31 that says 'Isabelle mon amoure.' They're staying. Good name for her.
