So I'm refinishing my dad's old pheasant gun. A Stevens 311, so it was never the flashy barbecue gun, but I'm surpassing its previous workhorse status to something showcasing all my limited skill (but abundant care) to brightly polished bluing and wood.
I've heard the praises of Johnson's paste wax, and figure since it will spend 99.9% of its life in storage that's worth a try. But however good the receiver looks in satin, I want one that will retain the beautiful bluing on the barrel and won't dull the polish on the wood.
Johnson's advertises a 'satin sheen'. Is that incorrect, or has anyone used anything that keeps a high gloss?
A big preference for being able to pop by Lowe's or Home Depot and grab a can.
