Gosh, I remember gun slick. I'm sure it worked okay, but I never liked using it because it made me feel like I was making the gun that was just cleaned dirty again! I think I still have an old tube of it sitting in the bottom of my gun cleaning box.
Gosh, I remember gun slick. I'm sure it worked okay, but I never liked using it because it made me feel like I was making the gun that was just cleaned dirty again! I think I still have an old tube of it sitting in the bottom of my gun cleaning box.Yeah recall when a bottle of Hoppes always came with the gun cleaning kits we used to buy for around $3 as a kid cleaning my first .22 Also that black grease called "Gunslick" in the silver tube was a stand-by.
If I had to store a gun for a long time I would use Boeshield T9, penetrates everything and leaves a good waxy coating that is impervious to salt...my thought is - if it works for salt, it will work for anything. Problem is, it's spendy, and it really stinks until all of the lighter distillates evaporate. My hubby used Rig grease and swore by it, but I thinks it's really messy. Many of the shooters I know use CLP for storing guns.Let me ask this question another way. What does everyone use for long term storage (cāmon man, you know for the āsafe queensā) Its interesting reading what everyone uses for cleaning, lubing and protecting. Iāll be honest, I have some rifles and pistols I donāt get out a lot anymore and would like to find my best option for rust preventative in the safe long term. I know some of you have large collections and donāt shoot them ALL on a weekly or monthly basis. What do you use to coat them with before storing them?
Don't Google the title of this thread......I have also seen some pretty good videos on YouTube that were informative. A few of them were interesting because they did comparison tests on several different products. Itās been several years since Iāve seen them therefore I probably couldnāt find them again if my life depended on it.
