Hoppies #9 is a solvent. I doubt it would have little protection value in that wet environment that the metal barrels are being subjected to. I do think the WD-40 should hold up good, but time will tell.

If others would like to see sample #3 or #4 change over to WD -40.... I can do that right now. Let me know ASAP.

RE: Barrel rusting test
This info is not part of the test being done but was a test and did not know it until I started learning from this forum. Feb of 1998 I bought the Remingtom 700 ss ml, it was bought to use if I did not take my buck with my bow. The years the ml was used after it was sighted in were 2001,2002,2005 and 2008, there were also times during this period I would shoot just to be shooting. During this 10 year period I used the tc bore cleaner #13 and run a Remington wonder lube patch down the bore when finished. As you can see this ml has had a bunch of down time just sitting in the safe,also with this ml after every 3rd shot I would lube the bore with the Rermington wonder lube and I was shooting the Hornady 44-240 hp/xtp with the Pyrodex pellets and the bp was converted to the 209? The inside of this bore is blemish free, shines like a mirror after 10 years? Hard to figure?

Cayugad,
If there is room after this test how about CLP? I read a post...actually a link to a dated test that proved CLP to be very, very good. The test was a salt water spray environment. Anyways, just a thought. Thanks!

Hammer... funny you should mention CLP. I thought of taking the Birchwood Casey Sheath that kind of fail IMO and make that one with Breakfree CLP. What do the others think of that our would you rather watch Birchwood Casey rust again??

I'm not arguing with you but it does say use it to clean barrel then patch clean, then saturate patch, push through the bore to prevent rust.Maybe i should not use it anymore for that,what do you think?
