Greetings!
Just an FYI... A few months ago, I lucked into an E.M.F./ Uberti 1866 Carbine , .44WCF for a song; 1982 production, with a great bore & action, but definitely used. The wood is fairly blonde, so I will stain it darker (suggestions?). The receiver had that beautiful "mustard" patina, but I managed to remove a lot of it, by wiping it down with Ballistol. I didn't have that happen with "3 in 1", or any other Gun Oil.
Be Well!
