    I would be surprised if my memory of a really gummed up gun and my blaming Rem oil use was incorrect.

    Ballistol for 65yrs, never a problem.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    WD40 can skin over when left to dry and the skins can be a problem.
    I like Ed's red 50/50 ATF and kerosene or diesel oil.
    Never any skins.

    why allow it to dry ? - flush or blow off with compressed air after it has performed it/s intended purposes -
    never pick a fight with an old man - if he is too old to fight he will just kill you -
    in this current crisis our government is not the solution , it is the problem ! -

    An old shooting colleague of mine used to shoot WD-40 generously down his barrel as soon as he was done. Claimed it protected the bore until he got time to clean it properly.

    I always carry Remoil to the range with me and run bore snake through all my bores with Remoil before I leave. That way, I don't have to do a good cleaning job until I feel like it. Have seen several friends guns that they shot, put in safe and didn't clean for years, they got pitting in the bores from storing with dry bores. I wipe down the outsides with Remoil also and have never found any gum or rust on any of the guns I have stored this way.
