Johnsosns' paste wax works great. I use it on the metal and the stock. Apply it in the inletting before you put the barreled action in, let dry an d wipe it down. Don't have that oily smell when you take it hunting either.

Thanks all, for all your replies. Does anyone have one of those hydraulic case formers like in the ad? didn't thik so..........It's going to be a little while before I'm finished with this project. I need to finish inletting the stock,and glass bed the action. Before I blue this rifle I'm going to have stop and build a buffer. I think that I will try to rust blue this rifle. I have been reading some of your posts on rust bleuing. I will try to post some pics soon.

Also, Gunnutty would you send me the .30Gibbs data. Thanks

Hello. I am a new member, although I've bee lurking for awhile. I am in the process of building a .30Gibbs on a VZ-24 Action. I am using a n English Walnut stock with a Cape buffalo forend tip. The bottom metal is Argintine. I am using a commercial bolt sleeve and a Timney trigger with slidding safety. It will have a 24" hammer forged barrel, Redfield base and rings. Does anyone have reload data on the .30 Gibbs? Any feeding problems? Any information will be apperciated.
