Ive used Formbys Tung Oil before, and liked it. After reacquiring a gun I sold that had that solution applied, I found it yellowed a little, which was a little disappointing.
Some like to use multiple applications of was, such as Briwax or Renaissance.
Something I plan to try is clear Ceracote. By adjusting the amount of hardener, you can vary the degree of shine, and its a strong finish that will not yellow.

I used to make my own fishing baits. After carving and painting I used clear coat over the paint to protect the bait. I'll bet that stuff would be good over metal to protect case color or barrel finish...Geo

I refinish quite a few Damascus bbls and afterwards use a thin coat of Watco Danish oil finish Neutral. Works very well gives a nice finish

Thompson's Water Seal, solvent based, red label can. Works great on any firearm, wood and metal. Leaves a very durable wax-like coating that is basically imperceptible.

Again, thanks for a wealth of information. I won't be able to try all of them at once but will definitely use some.

Yes Stan, Behlen's.
Behlen's is clear and looks good over black Damascus, no warm tint that most lacquers have.
OTOH warm lacquers do look good on brown Damascus.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
