When using LMF for browning, I know I need to plug the bore, but what about screw holes like the ones that hold the rib on the Hawken barrel?

I don't know if it is necessary but I dabbed a little wax in there with a toothpick.

I didnt and they turned out fine....
In my opinion, if you apply the Laurel Mountain Forge Browning solution like you should, very little of it will actually get down into the threaded holes.
I say this because this is not something that is just slopped onto the metal. Light thin applications are recommended as I recall.
If some of the threads at the mouth of the holes get the hard brown rust on them, after the oil is applied they will actually be more rust resistant than the uncoated threads are.
