Webfoot Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 What do you guys put on your barrels/receiver to keep them from rusting. Just got my new SBE II and the barrel seems like it might be prone to rusting if not taken care of properly. I'm talking about the blk/synthetic models...

mudhen Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Breakfree CLP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 To be honest, I think the formula is very close to the same thing as Breakfree. I also use it on the synthetics. The effect is similar to Armour All, but not as shiny or slippery. Apply liberally and let it soak in, then buff it down with a clean lint-free cloth. It takes out the light spots caused by mud and dirt. I cleaned a friend's SBEI for a couple of years ago and he thought I'd replaced the plastics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFPJ Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 hi mudhen, I too use breakfree CLP, and have a large bottle of the military version. I was wondering if you, or anyone else, have used militech-1 compared with Breakfree, since I have read posts on militech before (but can't find it anymore). Just wondering what other options there are since some guy on the Brownell's site has an article comparing various protectants, and breakfree didn't do particularly well in his test, but always seemed to do well by me.

tucker301 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Brownells link please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFPJ Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 sorry...here's the link http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/GunTech/NewsletterArchive.aspx?p=0&t=1&i=503 Of course, the Brownell's product was one of the best, so a grain of salt for those results...

mudhen Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Great report for me because I use 5" plates of steel while hunting I have used Breakfree CLP to clean and protect guns for many years with no rust problems. But everyone should feel free to smear their guns with cosmoline and/or the 40th verison of some guy's water displacer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFPJ Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Thanks mudhen. Good 'nuff for me. So do you use those 5 inch plates for the final blow while hunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
