Well, that's the thing - a hundred years of hand oil, gun oil and whatever shellac is left is in fact a finish of sorts. It helps seal the wood grain and presents some sort of appearance that is more, or less, pleasing to the eye. Murphy's removes all that and leaves you with a raw wood, more or less. So.....like a lot things it's usually best just to leave it (the stock) alone unless you are in for the whole nine yards.
