Corrosion-X vs. Barricade for rust prevention...

[bobznew]

I have both on hand. Just wondering if there is a consensus on which oil is better for a light coating in the bore (for rust prevention that is).

I use barricade and have been very satisfied with the result.

Never heard of Corrosion-X, plenty of guy's here use Barricade.
Truth,
Any good gun oil will do the job.
There is no mirical stuff that will replace due dilegance.
You just gotta keep an eye on it.
I use Hoppes #9 gun oil for light storage during shooting season and LPS 2 for long term off season.
I've learned to re-check bores with an oil patch after a day or two to be sure I properly coated, and once a month or so for off season. All my guns get the same care, they get checked frequently.

I use Barricade (and Sheath for years before that). Never tried Corrosion-X.

Silly question I'm sure...

As far as Barricade goes, is there anything inferior about the Barricade that comes in the aerosol spray can (as opposed to the regular non-pressurized can)?

 

[Ken Rummer]

Is it necessary to remove the Barricade before shooting?

If so, what solvent gets it out?

 

[gearheart]

An alcohol patch (I use methyl hydrate from work denatured or isopropyl are also good)and a dry patch and you're good to go. Rubbing alcohol usually has too much water cut into it. :thumbsup:

I use Barricade in all of my guns and not only does it provide excellent protection from rust but you do not need to wipe it out of the bore before shooting black powder in the gun.

The reason seems to be that Barricade, which is a very thin fluid gets wiped on in a very thin coating. This coating seems to dry rather than staying wet so it does not interact with powder fouling to form hard tar like deposits.

Try it, you'll like it.

Sounds good. Is the aerosol can Barricade any different than the non-aerosol can?

 

[Zonie]

It isn't any different except you are paying for the fancy aerosol can and the propellant.

I've used both but I prefer the regular can because I get more for my money.
