Ok, I came up with this foolproof method while living in Southeast Texas several years
ago. I don't get along with rust of any kind, let alone on my babies (guns). When I first
moved to Texas, 1st morning in fact, I woke up to a fine coating of surface rust on my
sweetheart Winchester 9422. I came from Colorado and we didn't have this humidity
problem. I spent the next several months over oiling my guns and constantly watching
them for "rust". I tried different products, but each one had it's faults.
Then one evening I was sitting on the living room floor with an oil sopped gun in one
hand and an oil can in the other. I was staring out the window at my brothers car in a
daydream, well evening dream, and all of a sudden, everything popped into place. Could
it be this simple? Yep!
I took all of the oil off of my guns exterior and polished it with autowax, the new modern
wipe on/wipe off kind. Nu-tone, 2000 washes, etc. I polised the metal, the boar, the stock,
everything. Ahhhhh, no more rust...none. I stored guns for months and when I reached in
for one it was clean and no rust.
So there you have it. I hold no patents for my idea and I am happy to pass it along. Enjoy!
