Thread: Sako 85 Finnlight II

The bolt on my M98 is chromoly and it's never had any rust on it. It literally takes 10 seconds of maintenance per day.

Buy a tin of renaissance wax.

Buy a rag.

Put wax on rag.

Rub rag on bolt.

= thin, non-greasy, hydrophobic coating on bolt.

Best of all, a tin of Ren Wax only weighs a couple of ounces and it'll last you years. $30.00.

Meanwhile, people are paying hundreds of dollars for coatings which will eventually wear off.

Cerakote and stainless is great stuff - but there are cheap and effective ways of preventing rust (as I've outlined above).
