Rust stopping oil

I TRY TO KEEP AS MUCH WATER AWAY FROM A GUN BARREL AS POSSIBLE. THE ONLY WATER IS THAT CONTAINED IN THE MOOSE MILK USED TO DAMPEN THE RESIDUE REMOVING WIPES.

Put a drop of water on a very hot barrel and see how long it lasts. Now put a drop of water on a hot barrel and touch it with a paper towel. Nuff said.

I don't want anyone to change what they are comfortable with in cleaning a barrel. There are many roads leading into town. I am just saying what works for me. God Bless to all.

Why go to the trouble of water drops when cleaning is simple??

Guess they did that in the middle 1800's.

I recall a story about a guide in the cold winter with a biologist. The biologist commented to the guide that his buffalo coat would be warmer if he wore the coat hair side in. Sure enough the old boy turned his coat inside out and found it warmer.
Then he started to chuckle.
What’s so funny asked the biologist.
I was just thinking about all them big woolies that had their coats on backwards for millions of years answered the old guild.

Wd40 Specialist is good stuff. Also Jim Bridger did not shoot his rifle every evening nor clean it.

Keep yer powder dry

The acid test about your cleaning method.
If after several days a damp wiping patch DOES NOT pull rust or residue Schmutz is a good method.

That was just to show that water doesn't last long on a hot barrel.

When a rifle shot could bring in unfriendly people, I would imagine that shooting was only when very necessary.

The Barricade came today so I cleaned out the RIG Grease with lots of tight patches, IPA'd the barrel and whacked a load of Barricade down the barrel on a Barricade SOAKED clean wool mop.

I really can't see any rust forming before I get to shoot the Hawken next time as this is ANOTHER 'clean on clean' situation and the barrel was OK before the Barricade from the last clean a few days ago.

So fingers crossed you guys have helped me out finding my cleaning and rust prevention situation.

I must say, this Barricade stinks and I can taste it in my mouth after using it and getting a little on my hands! It must be soaking through my skin and being absorbed into my body, YUCK! Next time I'll be more careful and/or wear gloves!

IF YOU ARE NOT PULLING RUST OR RESIDUE BLACK CRUD, YOU CLEANING METHOD IS OK

I use olive oil or neatsfoot

Also jajoba oil works well for me, however if the gun isn’t properly cleaned it does no good. I use a solution of Murphys oil soap, 91% isopropyl alchohol and peroxide mixed in equal parts to clean the bore. Dry the bore with patches and then apply a good coat of olive oil, or sweet oil as they called it in the civil war days.

Clean as usual. A wet patch of WD-40. Next day a wet patch Brownell's Polar Active Rust Preventive No. 2. Good forever. Before use wet patch isopropyl alchohol, dry patch and your good to go.

I,F YOU GOOD PEOPLE DECIDE TO DRY OUT YOUR BARREL WITH A DRY WIPING PATCH YOU ARE WASTING THAT PATCH IF YOU HAVE A PATENT BREECH PLUG,
I INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THAT STYLE OF BREECH PLUG IN THE BOOK SO ALL WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY THEIR DRY WIPING PATCH WAS A WASTE.
I HAVEEXPLAINED THE PROBLEM HERE SO MANY DANG TIMES AND PEOPLE WHO ARE SURE TO HAVE A PATENT BREECH CONTINUE SENDING A DRY WIPING PATCH DOWN THE SPOUT IGNORING THE FACT THAT MORE THAN LIKELY THE MOISTURE THEY SEEK TO DRY UP IS WAAAAY OUTM OFREACH.

Dutch, when I clean a barrel, I blow moisture out of the barrel by simply blowing down the barrel. I know my breath is moist so then I squirt some WD40 down the barrel and follow it with a patch. After this a dry patch or two and then a patch with Barricade.

If a capper, I then replace the nipple and store the rifle either standing barrel down or for a couple hanging on the wall with the muzzle lower than the breech so oil etc. doesn't collect in the breech area.

On my Pedersoli Hawken 54 I noted I use lanolin in isopropyl alcohol after cleaning and run a patch to even it out, also put a .22 mop on the end of cleaning rod that gets into patent breech.

I only saw the (patent' breach) pictures this week. An eye opener. I never though about that. it is too bad the modern engineers could not find a way to have a removable breach that looked authentic. I envy how the inline shooter can twist off the plug and run a patch between shots and shoot all day. Easy clean later.
