I would think that by laminating a timber stock it might warp. Also laminating a barrel would affect harmonics of the barrel and hence accuracy might worsen. A better option would be to purchase a small dehumidifier like the remington one advertised in Duffy's (www.shoot.ie) and don't be afraid of using oil on metal surfaces. Machine oil on timber will cause it to crack!!
