Barrel treatment (another products thread)
 
So was curious to see what products you guys use for keeping the rust off your barrels? As technology changes so do products, so let's hear 'em!

I have never had a problem with rusting just keep the ac on and wipe down once in a while with Ballistol .

Bill Holcombe 09-08-2018 01:49 PM

I usually just wipe em down with remoil and stick em in the safe. No problems. Have a desicant van i mb the safe.

Richard Flanders 09-08-2018 02:33 PM

Ballistol on most. IBIZ wax on damascus and twist bbls.

Many years ago I was in a serious collector's gun vault looking at six Parker Bros. .410-bores, two graded L.C. Smith .410-bores and a 20-gauge HE-Grade Super-Fox. I asked what the aroma was and was handed a wiping rag and a spray can of G-96. If it was good enough for those guns, good enough for mine.

Some years ago, when Keith Kearcher was in Longview, Washington, where things are pretty damp, he recommended EEZOX. I keep a can of that and a wiping rag in each vehicle.

As dry as it is here on the Washington/Idaho border, I'd probably have to work at getting a gun to rust.

Oh yeah forgot to add, Brad Bachelder recommended using watco oil on the barrels to protect them
The post is on here somewhere.

Rick Riddell 09-08-2018 05:32 PM

Watco oil? Interesting, isnt that an oil for wood?

Bill Holcombe 09-08-2018 06:26 PM

Yeah, Brad said to wipe it own and let it dry and it should protect the barrels. You can look up his post but I think he said once a year or every 2 years something like that. It works well for protecting the pattern.

RIG has always worked for me, both as a protector, and a lubricant on hinge pins
