Rust prevention - 11/24/14
Today, I gathered every rifle, shotgun, and handgun and ran a patch thru the bore of all. Then gave the actions and outside a smidge of oil.
I have been using Mobil 1, 0 to -20 for quite a few years. Some of these firearms have not been touched for 4-5 years, some just this year. There was absolutely no rust anywhere.
A while back on this very topic someone stated that Mobil 1 was for lubrication, not rust prevention. I have found it works very well for both
A few of the guns were on the wall, a few in my drawer under the bed, but most were in the safe that had a Golden Rod. Admittedly the humidity is not very high in CO, but it ran 30%+ for several weeks this year.
