I found that buffing a liitle Frog Lube in with folded
stockings really brings the finish to life too.
Standard kit for pongos these days eh ?
Borrowed from a pussers feet.
Whilst snoring deep in 'is cups. His mind afog on his Lords rum.

Finished the rubbing and put it back together this morning. Family shot with the Brno .22
Went out the back and rezeroed at 60m so U could check the .23 as well. Got this 3 shot group:
Three clicks up and I’m good to go!

While I had the barrelled action out of the stock I shimmed the jard trigger - it used to have a fair bit of side to side slop, but some carefully drilled and cut beer can and some Tarzan’s Grip and it is solid as a rock, but still nice and crisp with no drag.

I would, but my sample seems to have been lost in the post.

It works fine. I certainly noticed the wax content - even though you said that you don't need much it's quite likely I was still using a bit too much at times, and I wa setting that tacky waxy feeling. I ended up finishing the stock off using Organoil as I felt that I could get a nice heat going a lot quicker with the thinner oil.
