Thread: Maintaining firearms

After living on the coast for many years in both A&NZ and battling rust, I've found Breakfree CLP, and G96 both work well. I think there is a common ingredient in the better rust preventatives - not sure what it is but possibly a silicone compound?
I avoid penetrant oils like WD-40, CRC etc. A sure way to encourage rust quickly, found out the hard way.....
