Any specific wax recommendations?

I have had good service on several guns by protecting the case colors with plain old Johnson & Johnson paste wax. Apply it everywhere and let it dry thoroughly. Buff with a soft cotton cloth. I have a Parker, Fox, and LC that I shoot quite a bit and they still look great.
CSM does sell a product that is designed speciffically for this but I do not know anything about the effectiveness. |

I have used Renaissance Wax to protect nice guns while duck hunting. It leaves a thin coat of protective wax.
The old timers would use Johnsons Paste Wax to protect their duck guns. Paste wax will leave a thicker coat of wax than Renaissance Wax. Mark |

I'll second Mark's recommedation for Ren Wax ( Renaissance Wax ) very thin coat and does a great job on both metal and wood. Eric

I use a wax called IBIZ, made by a small outfit in Florida, because it has no abrasives in it and is composed of pure carnuba. I find it to work very well so far. It can be brought up on a google search. I know other waxes also contain carnuba, which is a very hard substance and a preferred wax ingredient. I believe Johnson wax has it. I'm sure some on here are familiar with the Johnson family flying trips around S America back in the 30's or 40's looking for sources of carnuba in the forests. Interesting story really. I have also used an Armorall paste wax that I THINK but can not guarantee beyond all doubt, has no abrasives; it worked well on my pump guns.

I've used "Case Color Lacquer" from CSMC with 100% satisfactory results. In my case, I used a 1/4" camel's hair artist's brush to apply it directly to the metal---no need to disassemble the gun and risk buggering up the screws, etc. It is a quite thin as it comes out of the bottle, flows on evenly and dries in minutes--I applied a 2nd coat within a 1/2 hour of the first coat. The product enhances existing case colors by inhibiting a slight amber hue and may be thinned or removed with lacquer thinner.

Guess Bruce solved his hairy breach problem; the post is gone.

Formby's tung oil, at your local hardware store, is the best I've found. Brushes on very easy, has a low solid content so dries thin, and is very durable. Only "downside" is it'll take a week to fully cure though it can be handled within a day. I also use this to varnish the barrels. It's offered in either gloss or satin--I use satin but can't really tell much difference. MUCH superior to wax.
