Thread: No more rusty firearms

@Cordite Thanks for that info very interesting .When l was working in Alaska & the US we relied a lot on the great little Cub flying machines & Float planes bringing clients,supplies etc into remote camps operating in extreme conditions & l was really surprised that the same Linseed oil mix was used to coat their gear as well .

I found the fact that Lanolin oil had been used & applied by the Vikings & Romans to their weapons etc to stop rusting really interesting as well & like l say found it worked really well & is my preference .The Lanotec had the advantage over the linseed mix of not leaving the varnish type finish, although l had a 1932 Beretta SXS that l could not resist using on the clouds of Teal in the salt swamps & it still had it on it when l sold it after over a decade of coating .
