Eric ; RIG is back on the shelf in a different jar, at Jr Welch's in Lebanon NH; I am sure that it is available at an increasing number of shops.

Adding to Mark's comment; Oranges, lemons and grapefruit are extremely corrosive to many kinds of iron; coca cola and other carbonated beveridges are not far behind. Newsprint and kraft paper may be in the right environment.

I have seen guns develope stalactites of corrosion at a spot. I think that these , plus the soft yellow /brown that appears on twist barrels, is fungus/bacteria related. Bruce probably had hours of training on prevention of strainer clogging fungus growing in jet fuel. Most oils promote bacterial /fungus growth. The trick is to find an additive prohibits fungus growth, but does not dissolve blue.

Best, Austin
