  • I live a block from the breezy Atlantic Ocean. I have a good number of firearms I don't want to sell and don't want to clean every month. What is the best product (besides a safe or rust-prevention bags) to apply to these guns for storage in cases that are not airtight? Is it as simple as an annual oil? Silica bags? My regular carries are not a problem - it's those couple-of-hundred-bucks apiece deals that I use once a year or so. The salt air is brutal, even under my bed.

  • Hi Robert, you are already using the least inexpensive method with "Seal-able" Rust Prevention Bags. A one time coat of a thin film of a non-oxidizing oil (mineral oil, 3-in-1 oil (mineral oil), Starrett precision tool oil (mineral oil) , or Norton’s special honing fluid (mineral oil)) is an excellent rust inhibitor. Used together, this is all you need to protect your firearms.

  • I use Renaissance wax on my stainless guns. I've owned a couple Colt snake guns over the years and everyone recommended it to keep them shiny and protected. I spend the winter on the Gulf side, and have been using it (and Flitz) on my stainless guns. Both are good, but check them regularly!

  • I lived in Virginia beach and use BIRCHWOOD CASEY - RIG® UNIVERSAL GUN GREASE I have a old rag that has been used with rig forever I keep the rag in a ziplock bag and wipe down the guns with it once a year I apply a new thin coat Long-known and highly respected by shooters, this clean, viscous grease is easy to apply to your pet gun and provides absolute rust prevention during long-term storage. One thorough application of a thin film will protect your rifle, handgun, shotgun, or muzzleloader from rust and corrosion
