RE: just cleaned out the bobcat good, some storage questions
I'm with gander and cayugad, every time I'vestored a gun with bore butter as a barrel protector, a clean patch pushed down the barrel a week later would come outwith a rusty look.
These days I run an oily patch down the clean barrel and leave a lightcoating of oil in there(rem oil, 3 in 1, any light machine oil).
Usually, Idon't even follow the oily patch with a dry one. I put a dry patch between the hammer and nipple (or a wadded up piece of patch in the 209 primer pocket)to soak up any oil that works its way to the breech area while the gun is standing in the rack.
When I'm getting ready to shoot, two or three dry patches followed by an alcohol patch prior to loading will take care of the oil.
