Hey all,
Yesterday I couldn't spell Renaissance wax and today I rubbed down a winchester with it.
-breif history for context. I got a neglected win 94, it had some rust and hadn't seen oil in decades but inside was rust free and in like new condition. I took it apart and cleaned it all up. There's one patch of barrel that has minor pitting but it's at the barrel band in between the barrel and magazine , no biggie. I was looking for something I could put on the rough spot to kind of seal it or something. I don't know but I hear it's good for wood too and this things wood is dry.
Ok, the wax . i don't really know if this is the correct application but I've heard guys talking about using it for firearms that are going to get wet. So I figured I'd give it a try. Of course this doesn't restore finish on steel but I can tell it's somewhat shined the whole gun up. Wondering about you folks experience with this or if there's a better product for my situation .
I like the idea of wax and I'm considering waxing up a couple other rifles but I don't want to go crazy until I see how this works out with the winchester after I shoot it some.
What do ya think? What do you use? Would you rub it all over your small collection of vintage marlin rifles?
Thanks!
