I like it the way it is. Character.
You have to do the maintenance! You just can’t leave it to rot and rust away! Every mechanical item needs maintenance, it’s not like restoration, it’s maintaining it for use. Rust is not a patina!! And neither is dirt and grime!
I’m not restoring it, I’m cleaning it to use! It’s called “maintenance”.
I already have 10-12 Kibler’s! Sorry I’ve lost count…. I’m not making this musket shiny to look like new! I plan on shooting this musket as well as all my other muskets. I’m doing the maintenance on it.
Oxalic acid will lighten the wood even around the stains. My experience with it was the wood around the stain lightened proportionally as much as the stain itself. The stain was still there only lighter as will the other wood.
It’s your gun, do as you wish.
