RUST PREVENTATIVES
All of us worry about rust on our guns. Manufacturers of rust
preventative products claim all sorts of things in their own
interests. It's hard to get a truly unbiased test. You might wish to
take a look at

The tests performed here seem pretty good to me. I wasn't surprised
to see BreakFree CLP come out at the top, nor Eezox. But I was
surprised that Birchwood Casey's "Sheath" didn't do very well. I've
always had pretty good luck with it. Still, live and learn. I've also
had good luck with Pachmayr's "PRP" (Pachmayr Rust Preventative).
That one is a waxy die maker's preservative. It's great for rust
prevention, but it is gummy and does attract carbon and other grit.
Mr. Firiollo gets a lot of points for doing these tests. Not all
products were covered. I would have loved to have seen "Clenzoil",
one of my new favorites, tested. Still, I'm glad to see my old
favorite BreakFree CLP vindicated. It's always been a great product.
That's why we carry it at the store. Of all the rust preventative
products listed BreakFree CLP is the only one that is also a powder
solvent, so very perfect for gas guns. No wonder Uncle Sam uses it.
Go to the page and read the test. It's well worth your while.
