Another tip for when wiping down CM or uncoated rifle parts. Purchase a heat lamp like they use for livestock with a 250watt infrared bulb. They cost about $15.00 total. Wipe down your uncoated or blued parts (like the bolt) with Corrosion X and then warm the part up for awhile. I usually place the parts in an old stew pot that I have just for that purpose.

According to Mule Deer (JB)), the heat opens up the pores in the metal and allows gun oils like Corrosion X to soak in deeper. One gets more mileage and protection using this method. The heat also allows any excess oils to run out of internal crevices that might have been missed when wiping down the part.
