hehehe get sucked in after oil, leave with 12 rifles... or is this just me?

lol, I'm not usually that bad. But I've gone to shows expecting to just buy ammo, and came home with a handgun before.

Breakfree CLP is now made by Safariland (they make tons of other stuff for guns, mostly the best holsters on the planet

) But just so when you go looking for it, it will say Safariland Breakfree CLP on it, it's the same stuff.

There's a gun shop in Leesburg right on Catoctin Circle, if you want to check there. It's called Loudoun Guns.

Bingo! Found it there yesterday. Thanks for the tip.

Yep. Breakfree CLP and ironically enough, some RemOil too.

There were other people holding guns, but none were pointed at me, so I didn't pay any attention to them.

I didn't get around to taking the pictures off the camera til now, but here's the before and after shot of the gaunts, after cleaning them over at Sir James' place this spring, watching them re-rust in my living room, and then cleaning one again before taking this photo.

I'm wondering what the cause of your rust is now. I haven't seen any rust on the RemOil sprayed bit, as of yesterday when I packed it up and shipped it. Not sure if it's shadows, but it looks darker around the cuff. Hmm...

I think a lot of mine is from the steel wool leaving steel particles behind. I had to really press it hard around those rivets, so I'll bet there was more left behind there to rust.

That makes perfect sense. If you didn't clean the other one yet, bring it by sunday and you can give it a whirl with the ultra-fine scotchbrites, and see how that does.

Oh, I cleaned both, I just took the picture at that point for comparison.
