Yes it does. I have brass accoutrements that look great after over 10 years. They never get harsh cleaning fluid on them though.

True,I know that. I like mine the way it is. Someone that wants one to look original can get a kit from Uberti, the cylinder is in the white, or at least it used to be, or could remove the bluing if ya wanted.

Great heads up Gus! I use it on just about anything I value, hand tools, guns, machine tools, Jeep, wood cases, brass/metal accoutrements! Great stuff, does not attract dust either. Not the cheapest wax maybe, but the best IMHO anyway! Every time I get it out to wax something, I find...

Thanks for your service, and have a great Memorial weekend! Same to all the veterans reading!

Very interesting, and believable. And as time passed by, efforts were made to improve and "Bubba Proof" military firearms as much as possible. KISS theory. Keep it simple stupid, OR stupid will find a way to bugger it up! LOL I'd love to read a book written by one of those old time...

In my boyhood home, in my bedroom closet, there was a false wall that was actually a sliding cedar door, that opened to a walk in cedar closet. You had to slide the clothes over on the pole in the first closet, or you would never see the sliding door. Even then you probably wouldn’t see it if...

Dang, all that work for nothin’! Now I have to start all over again! And worse yet, this isn’t the first time I screwed this up. First time I was showing it off, so proud of my work, when another member pointed out it was on upside down!:D

Me too! And with small screws it is easy to believe the screw is breaking free and turning, when in fact it is just twisting and breaking off. When it gets easy to turn fast, it is usually too late. Brass screws are the worst for this. I always pray that brass screws in wood were soaped or...

Cool!

Sweet!

I worked for hours perfecting this mod on my Walker! LOL

Wow, I did not know that, practically begging to twist out and bugger up! Making removal even more difficult.

OK, but only with my P.A.S.T. on! Geeeez! Just curious, is there a patina on the inside that might indicate what charge it was used for. I'm guessing something less than the max, but who knows?

If you don't have a lathe, a drill press can come in very handy for a number of jobs. Here are some pictures of a .095" brass shim I made of the arbor of my Uberti 1847 Walker.

I've had good luck with this type of patience when removing difficult, stubborn, and stuck screws. I found on my Pedersoli 1766 Charleville, the Jim Chambers combo tool is a perfect fit for the slots on the tumbler/cock (hammer) screw, and the lock screws. It is hardened too. If I had any of...

Love it!

I polish my brass, but I no longer hunt, so to each his own. If I were still hunting I’d probably let it patina. I polish all my accoutrements as well, then give a coat of Renaissance Wax.

Awesome post per usual Dave!

To all my British friends here on MLF, I have read this entire thread. I do feel your pain. I hope you can get a good interpretation of the law concerning your smooth bore Britsmoothie. In the mean time please keep posting your hunting adventures on the forum, using your multiple shot loads...

I shot SASS for years. My Rugers are still as sound as ever! Off topic and probably out of bounds with the picture.
