Its worked for me since 1966.


Spot on ,back in my olden days married to first wife I had no gun safe and hid guns in the attic.
She would never go up there
Some lived there for fifteen years Big Grin


I have a question for you guys. I looked at the website and it does say "great for long-term protection."

Can I not use it for shooting the gun as well after I've wiped down the outside of the gun?



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I've only used it for storage because it is designed as a rust inhibitor.

Weapon grade grease should have ingredients specific to high heat caused during firing. Sorry, but I just don't know the answer...

If you want a "wipe and shoot" solution look at Breakfree Collector. It's a very good product that will protect yet just wipe off and let you go shoot. I use it on my safe queens but then again I have access to them and re apply from time to time. I'd say Collector is good for 6 months to a year in a reasonable environment although the product claim is up to 5 years. If you're living in a sea front cottage, south Florida or the Amazon jungle not so much.

Bingo! That and the bags will be my choice then. I'll accept their 5-year claim. I use regular CLP anyway.

Thank you everyone for your advice.

Some secure container and a coat of R.I.G grease would be fine.
