Have used it for 30 years (in fact, just finished wiping down the DHE I just posted a question about). I love the stuff, and have had no bad experiences, altho I don't use it to wipe down the wood

I suspect the issue is not "which", but "when". Any reasonable product will work if applied conscientiously.

no petroleum on the wood
that is a big factor in the failure of old gun stocks

Renaissance Wax, is what I use. It is a microcrystalline wax polish used in antique restoration and museum conservation.

I have used RIG for 40 years. Great stuff. The lambswool "rag" seems to apply just the right amount. I don't use it on wood.

I use RIG strictly on the sides of the barrel lug, on the barrel hook and on the knuckle articulating surfaces. It is a superior product for these applications.

I use RIG to wipe down the metal for a lot of outdoor-use equipment and have for decades. It has proven to be great at rust prevention and it does well as a lubricating grease too. I do not intentionally use it on wood, although some will inadvertently end up on adjoining wood surfaces. I've never seen it damage any sort of wood finish in any way.
