Putting oil in a barrel that still has moisture in it, the moisture will win. The bore will rust. Period
Sabotloader, i do agree your method is very effective. You proved that to me awhile ago. But most people will not take the time and make sure the bore is dry.
HEY HEY HEY NOW.......BREECHPLUGS MLer's (ALL OF THEM) LOOK AS THEY DID WHEN HE BOUGHT THEM, BRAND NEW INSIDE AND OUT .The MLer in this Post in Question is My Buddy's who gave it to me to clean for Him, his barrel was the one Rusty after the clean.
I take very good care of My MLer , too good. After I use the Soap and Water and Rince I let My SS Barrel Dry Out, then Windex Patch or Alcohol Patch it then Oil it. My SS Barrel is 10X Easier to take care of then the Steel Barrel from the MLer of My Buddies (Triumph)
And I finally did get (HIS Triumph's Barrel) Looking like New Again, it just took a little work.
Had to clear that one up Grouse
