I always TRY to clean my rifles as soon as I'm home
from using them' bore clean to new condition. But sometimes things slide. And I could miss a rifle, especially on overlapping seasons/trips. So once every 12-18 months I take out each and run a Hoppes patch to see if any carbon, lead, or copper. If the patch comes out clean; then they get a heavy lube patch, working mil spec std gun oil into the grooves; wipe exterior and back into the safe. Did 20 today..perfect...no carbon/copper nor rust. I must have done good! 20 down 20 to go |

I need to do that. I'm pretty sure all of mine wouldn't
come out clean. Wing master |

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

My concern is RUST.
In my last house I didn't have a safe..I had a secure room with a heavy cherry wood display case; so cleaning and access was faast. Since last year I moved and now have a safe that means unpacking everything to get them out. I hate to see a nice rifle with even mild surface rust on the bore or action. |
