    I highly recommend a mix of linseed oil, pine tar, and pine turpentine. The water resistance comes from the pine tar, the oil and turp are mostly there to aid it in penetration. Also ads a nice "grippy-ness" to the wood without being sticky. You don't want to get the pine tar intended for horse hooves. You want Auson pine tar, which is intended for wood, and comes in light, medium, and dark. Light won't darken pine any more than pure linseed oil, while dark will turn pine almost black. The difference is a lot less pronounced in hardwoods like walnut or birch.

    excellent info. DId not know that linseed needed a month to really set. That explains a lot about my tacky-feeling grips on my Open Top!

    • @Real11BangBang
      @Real11BangBang  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh yeah , it needs to be applied about once a day in very , very thin layers for about a month to get the correct non sticky feel

    That wax tip is a huge pro tip. I do the same thing. Wood wax on the steel prevents rust.
    Also shines up nice too.
    I use renaissance wax on my color case guns where I don’t want any color on the finish and I don’t want oil seeping in the wood. I’m going to order that alfy shine.
    Here’s a tip for you.
    Give Daleys products a try. I use their ship and shore sealer and their teak oil finish. It’s about the same as linseed oil it just absorbs a little faster and fills the grain better.
    That said it’s not traditional and if you are trying to stick with tradition well Daleys ain’t it.

    Do yourself a favor and get some good linseed oil. Most of it is made in Sweden. Typical hardware store brands have heavy metal driers. They will also mold and mildew in humid environments. I had used some hardware store linseed oil on an ash shovel handle. Had spores growing all over it. Sanded off all I could, but could never get it out of the open pores. After putting the good stuff on, I had no more problem except from the open pores.

      That's where I'm at most of my higher end hardware stores have good Swedish linseed oil and is what I always have used. I have found the pure tung oil to set up better, in my opinion.

    Hello! I was wondering if you could recommend books on the history, function, types, etc. of gunpowder firearms, generally speaking as early as the French and Indian War up to the end of the U.S Civil War. Much thanks!

      @@Real11BangBang Yes I realize the question may have been a little too demanding as far as TH-cam comments go.
      I was referring to a type of historical chronological illustrated encyclopedia of the history of firearms in the U.S beginning with the early colonies and into the Civil War. With insightful comparisons and explanations thereof, such as smoothbore vs. flintlock, rifle vs musket (I know the difference of the latter comparison just using an example) etc., etc.
      I've looked into the author you've cited briefly, and it seems to be a couple of works on the colonial period of Pennsylvania and Virginia. Which is kind of limited but will fit the bill well enough. Any books on firearms during the war of 1812 and the Civil War? Would be much obliged.
      I have a minimal understanding of the weapons throughout the colonial period and early U.S to Civil War and would like to broaden my understanding of the firearms used throughout the early colonial era to Revolutionary and 1812, to Civil War period but have yet to find books on the subject.
      They'll typically begin at around the end of the Civil War and quickly get into the Spanish War and WW1 which I have no interest in at the moment. Given your entire channel is dedicated to guns, old guns at that, I thought it best to ask you these questions. Hope this comment wasn't too circular and winded in its read. Thanks!

      It works well that is technically the best way to go. I use the wax after one month because it technically seals it up better and gives it a slightly harder finish. It's also historical. In the end, even with the wax, I will still go back once a year and give it a coat of good Swedish boiled linseed oil if that's what I'm using or tongue oil. Definitely on the inside of the gun to make sure that the wood doesn't dry out in the lock mortis

    Bang bang you might get upset with me for this might even put a boot a boot in my @$$ and leave the strings hanging out but years ago i re finished my my daisy legacy .22 rifle (yep they made an actual rifle ) it had this painted greenish goldish(an absolute hideous looking color) looking stock so i sanded it down by hand using sand paper and muscle i dont recall what color of stain i used but it was just minwax and then put a coat of minwax polyurethane over it the gun applied with foam brush (no brush strokes that way) and got a great glossy finish that didnt require any sanding thats was probably 20 years ago and the finish still looks like it couldve came from a factory that way
    and still looks nice and shiny i can do if you want to see it

      @Real11BangBang Sorry to seem pendantic it just seemed that way you transitioned from the Walmart "boiled" linseed to the tung ....you didn't really make the point clear.almost as if you were saying Tung oil was just a higher end linseed. Probably just my misunderstanding.
