Was in the shop working on my flinter looking for some oil to rub on a newly polished barrel and all I could find handy was some boiled linseed oil. Made me think that this could be a good long term rust preventer as it doesn't evaporate and actually polymerizes somewhat as it drys. Anyone else use linseed oil on metal parts? I'm thinking of using it under the barrel when I finally pin my flinter barrel in. GC
