rovercoupe Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Hi I now have a old antique single barrel percussion gun that I will be mounting on the wall, it’s well pitted and has some rust and I need to stop the rust and give it a long lasting protective finish. What would be best on the metal work, give it a wire wool rub and normal gun oil or is there a better way to protect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Use renaissance wax for protection. It’s what museums use, including the Royal Armouries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
