the perfect after cleaning bore oil?

[deerstalkert]

needed some air Nailer/tool oil so asked the bride to pick some up at the local hardware when she went to town. have used Marvel mystery air tool oil for years. showed her the little black and red bottle. took a picture of it with her phone. wrote it down.
when she got home and handed me a quart bottle that looked like red mountain vin rose' i just sighed and said thanks
anyway it was sitting there when i cleaned two flintlocks.
after using the steam cleaner i swabbed out the bore with a dry patch and it showed the usually brown from flash rust.
swabbed with a patch saturated in the Marvels Mystery oil that i now have a quart of.
that was day before yesterday. ran a swab on both today and it came out vin rose'! no rust. going to test some more. hate the rust stain on dry patches after cleaning.
just an observation .

Ballistol keeps the rust at bay in my smoke poles.

I use CLP and swab with 91% alcohol and dry patch before shooting.

I use 3-in-1 oil in the bore, vaseline for the lock. They're cheap and the dont go rancid. I rub the outside of non moving parts in paraffin or bees wax and buff it, holds up better than oil

Before someone goes off a cliff...no, they don't turn into a magical La Brea Tarpit.

If I'm storing the rifle for a while, Marvel Mystery Oil does a great job. If I'm going to shoot again in a week or so, 3n1 does a good job.

It gums up the works sumptin' fierce in my guns. I won't use. Barricade is now my choice for bore protection.

Interesting. I have to stop and think about that one. I guess I've just never noticed because of all the flawless applications from my personal experience. I guess the German military should have never used Ballistol. Hmmm.... Oh yeah, tell Hickok45 it's bad stuff!

I use pawpaw seed oil that is crushed between the breasts of virgins, you know how hard it is to find a virgin with breasts?

Mercron automatic transmission oil and Lubriplate 130-A

Generally it's Barricade for mine. Have used BreakFree CLP with the same excellent results.

I am a big fan of 3-in-one oil and have been using it for a long time. I've also used Ballistol and it works too.

 

[Rocksolid]

Break Free CLP, and Ballistol, works for me.

especially breasts firm enough to crush Pawpaw seeds!
blame my wife for this thread, if she had got the right stuff i would have never tried MMO. didn't intend to start another brawl!

Do you find it comes out with a dark brown colour on a clean patch ? I've only just started using it and I do

FWIW, over the past 40 years, after cleaning the bore, I run a loose patch downbore, lightly coated with the same Bore Butter I lube my conicals with - never any issues.

Not after the bore is clean. Other methods have left brown patches a few days later. When I use Ballistol, I can check the bore a few days later, and the patches come out clean. How much are you diluting the Ballistol?

I also use 3-in- oil in the shop, I found a finish sander in the junk pile took it home plugged it in and it just hummed, cleaned out the mechanize with WD- 40 and then oiled it with 3-in- and it runs like a new one,
BTW 3-in-1 is now owned by WD40 company.
