Barrel treatment (another products thread)

[Rick Riddell]

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!

[winplumber]

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

[King Cobb]

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]

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]

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

[King Cobb]

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
