I know I've read about people soaking their stock in something to darken it, but couldn't come up with anything on the search page. What do you guys use to darken your grey stocks?

Thanks in advance

I used a few patches soaked in CLP. Let the oil sit for an hour, then wipe off the excess with a dry cloth until it's not wet to the touch.

Allright, now for the really dumb question.  What does CLP stand for?

Get some Breakfree CLP.  Comes in either bottles or spray can.  I just sprayed the stock and rubbed it in with a dark cloth and let it sit as BWhalen stated.

I've used Armorall (the plastic conditioner used in detailing cars) to put a nice finish on the stock and HG

Armor-all, CLP, WD40, silicone or anything else.  I leave mine gray and they end up turning black as they are cleaned and wiped down after awhile.

As a matter of personal taste, I oil my stock every other time I clean my weapon.  It's probably not necessary, but my stock gets kinda parched and a man would never let his best friend suffer from thirst.  [devil]
