1- hoppe's gun oil
2- regular WD-40
3- WD-40 rust remover


what do you use?

My guns were stolen.

Regular WD leaves behind a thin film that builds up to a mild yellow tan over time with repeated applications

Hoppe's is a solvent so yeah I'd say Hoppe's.

REM Oil gets a bad rap sometimes, but I like the stuff.

I don’t let my rifles rust!

1) I use evapo rust.
2) I use washing soda in water with a +28 Volt power supply hooked up to a sacrificial steel anode and electrical return connected to the gun part.

G96 spray & 0000 steel wool.

Most firearms owners don't.

I buy some occasionally that have been mistreated though, and fix them up.

Flitz with 4/0 steel wool and elbow grease does wonders.

I don't let my stuff get rusty to start with, but I have been known to take on a project....

I take an empty cartridge case, flatten the mouth with a hammer, sharpen with a file if you wish....

use it as a scraper.....

It does NOT remove blue........... wipe the marks away with an oiled cloth........

Kroil oil and 4/0 steel wool .
Stinks to hi heaven but does the trick .
During hunting season I don’t worry about my go to guns and hunt them day in and day out till season is over .
Then they get TLC .
Got rid of my glossy pretty guns and use the economy shooters that shoot better than the glossies ever did .
Keeps the tears off your fat little cheeks .

CLR- - - -it takes everything off, including the bluing, then I get the gun Cerakoted. It's a one time fix and I never have to worry about rust again.

Use bronze wool instead of steel wool and it won’t scratch the surface or remove the bluing.

bead blast cabinet. At least when I still had the hot-salts set-up.

4 aught steel wool.

That’s the key. Pretty much any oil will work while using the fine steel wool to actually take it off.

That and some 4-ought steel wool.
DUH! WD40! It is a solvent after all!

In school, I was taught - "o-u-g-h-t"
My first real job, they only accepted "n-a-u-g-h-t".
You aren't the first I've seen use "a-u-g-h-t"
The city couldn't understand anything but "z-e-r-o"

Yep. Soaked with Hoppes or Kroil.

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.

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.

the gun already had the "R" when i acquired it

This with 3-IN-1 oil has worked fine for me.
