Default RE: is bore butter necessary?

ORIGINAL: nchawkeye

Bore Butter is not made for inlines, don't use it in them...Regular gun oil is what is best for an inline...

Bore Butter was developed for side hammer guns, they marketed it as a product that would "season" the bore and
give you many shots between cleaning...Most of us didn't buy it...We realized that while you can season a cast iron
fry pan, gun barrelsare made of steel...
TC would disagree. Each of my Triumphs came with a DVD that STRONGLY recommends the use of bore butter. I believe these DVD's were produced prior to the introduction of the Triumph seriessinceit is never specifically mentioned in the DVD although the Omega appears to be the main"star" of the video.

They (TC) do mention it is neededproper"seasoning" of the barrel too (for the Omega series).

Now, I'm no expert, but would think TC would know what they were talking about. Of course they do make the bore butter so I'm certain it's in their best interest to make sure we all buy it and use it often.

I'm on the fence on this one. Could someone explain in more detail about "seasoning" of a barrel and how bore butter can help or hurt with it ???
