Being a novice gun owner, I bought Larry Lyons' "Gun Owner's Handbook" about 18 months ago.
He recommends the use of rust preventatives rather than gun oil for keeping the red stuff at bay. He goes so far as to advise wiping all interior metal parts with it, because of the danger of condensation..
I have a can of Outers' Metal Seal, but have not yet used it. I tend to wipe over all metal surfaces, interior and exterior with a light coating of Hoppes Elite Gun Oil and then wipe it off.
What do you do?
I watch gun cleaning videos on youtube, and see people reassembling guns leaving finger prints on internal parts. I try to avoid this by using cotton gloves when I reassemble my pistols. Am I being sensible or just anal?
Are rust preventatives really necessary if guns are not in long term storage, and is it really advisable to wipe over internal metal parts with it? Can it do more harm than good?
Is Outers' Metal Seal a decent product?
Would appreciate your comments.
