Just received this M1906 off Guns Intl. It is an early rifle, PR’d in 12 of 1909. One of the nicest ones I have ever seen. Nice Lyman 1-A attached, and what you seldom see, a minty bore. Someone took care of this Boys rifle. Maybe he had a Dad like me that insisted he clean it good after use. Now, I will hand it off to my buddy for a thorough cleaning and a Ren-Waxing. Big Larry
Looks like only thing missing is the hang-tag. How do you use the Ren-Wax?

Wax on, wax off. According to Mr. Miago. The stuff is expensive, but smells great. Ups your 90% gun to a 95%’er. Many museums use it. Almost every gun I own is Ren-Waxed. Big Larry

This is how Larry does it.
He said nothing about degreasing the metal before application. Wouldn’t that be necessary for the wax to adhere properly?

I don’t grease my guns. I clean them and apply a thin cote with a silicone cloth. The Ren Wax seems to adhere OK. I have never had a problem.

Very nice, congrats!

Thanks all. As a Winchester 22 collector I was happy to add this rifle to my collection. I already had a very late M06, just about as nice as this one, but this one is marked M1906 and I just had to have it. Big Larry
