I can’t find the Scattergun section that was on the hide, this may be the wrong forum for this question. My dad gave me his Maximus 12 gauge and the stock and for arm are so sticky that it’s a fly trap! I shot it two years ago and put in safe. It has to be from solvent/ oil but good luck finding out from manufacture . This has the factory camo coating throughout the gun , only the stock is affected not the action or barrel. Carburetor cleaner took it off my hands but I haven’t tried on the stock yet. Anyone ever hear of this before? A google search showed complaints on barrel coating peeling
