[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2529623, member: 69192"] I use a product that I get from Brownells called "RIG", it is sort of like a grease/Vaseline type product. I also purchase a "RIG" rag that essentially is a lamb's wool leather shammy.Spread the RIG onto the cloth and wipe down anything that is steel on your guns, put a generous coating on it. This includes removing the barreled action so that you can get all of the blued and steel parts that one normally would not get without removing the barreled action from the stock. This includes wiping down the bolt and anyplace else that would be subject to rusting. Next I have nylon bore brushes for every caliber that I shoot/clean, and I keep these brushes inside of the tub of RIG, one-pint tub. I put a generous amount of RIG onto the brush and scrub the inside of the bore. I look inside after I am done scrubbing to make sure that there's a good coating of RIG inside of the barrel. Something else that I do is wipe the edge of the bore brush over the muzzle to leave enough RIG on the crown to let anyone who picks up the rifle/firearm that the barrel has a protective product inside. If the firearm is fired with the RIG in the barrel the results would be catastrophic. This product wipes off easily with a soft rag, and a couple of clean patches through the bore and you're set to go. Also check the inside of the chamber to make sure that it too is clean before chambering a round. I have been using this product for 40-50 years and have never had any issues whatsoever with it.
