Toilet ring wax is definitely a new one to me.
Keep in mind that historic firearm collectors (like antique furniture collectors) don’t typically restore stocks, instead they preserve their history by leaving them alone, or using a period correct treatment, e.g. Ballistol for cleaning/oiling German K98k rifle stocks (unless they are still dry, then leave them alone); raw tung oil for WWII US rifles; raw linseed oil for WWI to early WWII US, Lee-Enfields, etc.
Not to come off trying to sound
morally superior, probably everyone of us has refinished at least one stock, I’m just adding my opinion.
Of course shooters will refinish stocks to get a coating of suitable durability for whatever service role they plan for their firearm.
