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 .
|
I usually just wipe em down with remoil and stick em in the safe. No problems. Have a desicant van i mb the safe.
|
Ballistol on most. IBIZ wax on damascus and twist bbls.

This is the most exhaustive evaluation of gun care products that I've ever seen, 46 different products were evaluated.

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