If I'm taking a Parker out in rainy or snowy weather I always give them a really good Ballistol treatment before I expose them to the elements. And, of course I wipe the gun down with an absorbent cloth when back inside and then give it another Ballistol treatment.
Ballistol will not harm the wood or the finish on the wood, be it original finish or something done in more recent years. Just like Hoppe's No. 9 Ballistol has its own distinctive... shall we say, aroma.
