I think the idea about Johnson's paste wax makes the most sense for a blued gun, and will provide the best, most long-lasting protection.
Cheap, too! - You can throw a can in the tool box, in case the rifle (or something else) needs a bit of touch-up at one point or another.
This stuff is more pricey than traditional paste waxes but very popular with serious gun owners. It works extremely well at protecting both wood and metal. Renaissance Wax Excellent product, not certain if it will adhere to metal being carried in a rifle rack.

On the Ren wax, do you have to "degrease" the metal before you use it?

Kind regards, charlesb

On the Ren wax, do you have to "degrease" the metal before you use it? While I wouldn't apply it to an oily gun, it does cut through old wax and oil to reach the wood or metal. In fact, I would call it a more clean wax because it doesn't leave the gun feeling slick like other waxes often do. And yet, the shine is excellent. It was developed as a synthetic wax by the British to protect centuries-old museum pieces.
