How to: Stop a gun from rusting?

[HellnBack]

Eezox is highly toxic to breathe or touch. look up the msds of the main ingredient.

Any Lubricant/anti corrosion that is not toxic in nature? please clarify Bro!, Chlorine is toxic too but we ingest that all our life.

I'm curious to know if you have screwed up the finish on a gun with quad ought steel wool and what kind of finish it was.

It depends on the finish. Polished blue is fine, does nothing to anything I've used it on. Matte blue, don't do it, you'll make a shiny spot. Stainless, don't know haven't tried it.

Not a gun thankfully, but I did develop light rusting on a stock 10/22 barrel and decided to to the steel wool and oil thing. Scratched it up and dulled it a bit; nothing too crazy but noticeable.

Though I'm not sure what type of steel wool I used, let me check and ill edit this post.

EDIT- ok, I used Norton Extra Fine 000 steel wool with Hoppe's oil (orange bottle)

I use the brass Chore Boy scouring pads and some oil for rust. Good for lead removal, too!

EDIT: Sorry, I misspoke. Fine bronze wool for barrel finish rust removal. It's been awhile so I checked my gun repair supply shelf and there it was.

TCE is not the main ingredient it's just in there and has to be listed due to the law.

Any petroleum based lubricant is also toxic. What's your point????

If you look at a MSDS for any of our cleaning agents you will find something.
I sold to the prison system.They wanted MSDS for products going to convicted criminals. Go figure
