Thread: Care & Maintenance Of Our Firearms

Kroil and CLP are my standard cleaner and lube. Kroil will creep and loosen screws though. That is what it was made for BTW. I like MPRO7 as well. I normally use a one piece rod for long guns and a solid short rod for pistols.

I have a Tipton 36" carbon fiber rod for my rifles,,,

I reality,with todays powders and primers,unless your shooting cast bullits,guns do not have to be cleaned.
Wipe them down with RIG,store them away

My guns get the same love as my badgers do,,,,,,,,,,

Gun cleaning is another theraputic activity. I dread getting to it, but once I'm in it, I find it quite relaxing. The happy place.

My sentiments exactly. It is sort of therapeutic once I get started.

I've been using RIG on guns, and on razors, for 40+ years and it is great stuff for humid climates.

Nothing better on a Friday night than cleaning guns while having an RC Cola & a moon pie,,,, watching Deliverance on the flat screen,,,,,

Rig truley is amazing stuff,most of my duck hunting used to be in San Fran bay (Saltwater) and norcal for Brant,(saltwater)
Never an issue with my shotguns heavily coated with rig.

I coated a 410 heirloom shotgun with Rig & it stored fine for 5 years.

this one,,,, Stevens savage 410

The other upside of rig is do's not move,major mistake people make is to over oil a shot gun or rifle, that store it butt down in a gunsafe or rack.
All that oil migrates into the stock and over time will rot the wood where it meets the reciever.

Don't forget copper fouling with jacketed bullets too.
