Your go to rust preventative???

[skeet]

My Friend..you have taken on a trial that is almost impossible to complete.. Too many variables to figure it all out. When I was in Md..I used a product mainly because I was a waterfowler. I hunted salt water.. Here in Wyoming..heck ya just dry the darn thing off. LOL. BTW..in Md..hunting the salt marshes..nothing REALLY worked. You'd better clean 'em off when you were putting them away and a good strip down cleaning when ya got home.

Rancid,

Best of luck on your quest. I used RIG (Rust Inhibiting Grease) to grease my arms while I spent 4 years in the USAF, 1962-1966. I have two vaults and found Military Spec Rifle Grease works fine. I clean my guns and use Mil Spec grease and some guns have been stored for 20 years and the exteriors and bores are rust-free.

I bought 4 one-pound coffee can-sized GI cans of Mil Spec rifle grease while in college circa 1970 and still have 3 full cans left and 50% of can #1.

Thanks I am not only looking for long term storage solutions but actually regular CLP (emphasis on P) products that dont gum up the works such as a grease might.

Still waiting on the brown truck, FedX and the mailman to stop buy to deliver all the purchases but I think im about done buying gun care products for this evaluation. I’ll stop at 40 products. Here is the list. I’ll be at a gun show on Friday and unless there is a product there I don’t have on the list. I think I’ll get going on the evaluation.

don't forget Kroil.. Aero Kroil specifically. I use it quite a bit but it is mainly used for crud busting and such uses..it just doesn't seem to go away easily. But I've never used it in the manner you may run this test.. Have fun. I have used many of those products..especially when I was working on guns. When I sold Amsoil many years ago they had a good syn oil product as did a local(Maryland) company I grew up using Hoppes #9..but to be honest was not impressed with it. Rem oil keeps a gun working but not a protectant but I used to get it free. It evaporates..leaves teflon.. Any way..lookin forward to your evaluations

[Rancid Crabtree]

All the products have been secured and the evaluation is under way.
