You know what I notice... all of the really good ones are hard to remove from the metal unless you have degreaser. I might try some of that RIG Universal Grease. It works good, it is really cheap, and it is odorless. I would not mindrunning a patch ofdegreaser down my barrel before I go out shooting or hunting if the grease or oil is really good. Each product is good for different things.

It is an interesting test indeed and I learned I should never strip all the bluing off my rifle and leave it on a picknick table for 72 hours in bad weather.

WD40 really shined in this test and they were not even one of the companies products. They don't even sell it lol. The heavy grease of all types seemed to work very well but I store my guns inside and if it is wet while hunting I dry and clean them well afterwards.

Sharp Shooter - Thank You for passing along those test results on rust prevention. It is something we all deal with on a regular basis and I like a lot of us was useing a brand name product that tested poorly. The power of advertising "leads" us to believe their product is the best and only product to use. These test results prove otherwise !!! Sincerely, DeerMe

Dearme, remember all the stuff that tested well was product made by the company that employed the person who did the test.

This was not done by an independant lab with no bias under stricked lab conditions.

So you are saying Steve Schmidt works for thecompany(ies) that did well in the product testing....?? Do you know that for a fact? Brownells does not even handle a lot of these products.

I guess I get a different picture, but I do agree with That would limit all the advice we give here. Cause I certainly do not shoot in a lab.

But then again my guns really do not see a independent lab with strict lab condition when I am hunting here in Idaho... they are just exposed to the conditions.

No I just found it was interesting that this was posted on their website and their products seemed to work the best. I am a natual born skeptic and did take that into account.

I in no way am saying the test wasn't factual but I would have liked to have seen each individual plate before application and such.

The author of the test himself said it was non-scientific.

What I learned most from the test is a complete take down drying and lubing is needed quickly after being stuck in the rain hunting no matter what you use for lube. Unless you use the grease and I can't imagine using it for anything except long term storage.
