I never would let a firearm rust! Anyone who would is neither a man nor worthy of using up the oxygen and other resources that should only go to people who have value!

Note: I am not claiming this to be true for me, I am just providing a medium for those who are worthy to add a +1 and save them the trouble of typing it all out.


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Persiandog: DON'T say that word!
I was born and raised and lived the first 49 years of my life in "rust" country!
NONE of my guns have ANY "rust" on them - and I own a LOT of guns.
Back when I lived in rust country (west slope of the rainy Cascade Mountains and just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean I quickly learned to never let you firearms rust!
No matter how tired I was after a day of busting through wet brush in the Cascades, or on the soggy always rainy Skagit Flats or through the Rain Forest of the Olympic Peninsula I would dry and clean my guns - THOROUGHLY.
Haven't had a rusty gun of my own in 60+ years now.
BUT... alas I have some friends, currently, who often let rust start on their Rifles and shotguns.
I use well lubricated very fine steel wool and Break-Free on their external rusty spots to try and stop the effects of the rusting on the metal.
Works pretty well I might add.

What I use is more expensive and harder to find than anything youse guys use.


Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.
