I'm baaack !
I was wondering about the( Rusty Duck protective lubricant ) after seeing it at Walmart. After reading the back of the can,I couldn't find anything that related to petroleum.Would this be a good product to use ? I am of the understanding that petroleum products have no place around a black powder revolver,but I am not really sure about that either as I have read so many train of thoughts on the matter.I ask,because after careful cleaning of my 1858,with Ballistol,in very hot water,drying and then wiping down and set aside to dry,and then wiping it down with Ballistol,I found rust in several locations a week later.I am not comfortable yet with completely tearing the revolver completely down ,until,I get my new printer for the computer,so I can have the information sitting in front of me,while I do it.But I am worried about the lock works,springs etc.I have all kinds of cleaning supplies as I am into many other shooting sports such as pistol's ( 1911 ) variety,and long range rifle shooting and the list goes on,but this is my first time involvement with black powder revolvers and I want to protect my investment properly.What do you gentleman use?
