This question is mainly for Don, but if anyone has an answer please feel free to submit it.
My father in law has a number of guns (mainly rifles) that were damaged in a flood in MS. they were family guns and he has taken on the job of repairing them. He and my mother in law are in the process of moving back to MS and he is not going to be able to blue the barrels until he gets back.
He has the stocks separate from the barrels and guts and is wondering what he can put on the barrels and internal parts to make sure no rust builds on them until he can blue the barrels.
What he is wanting to do is coat them with some type of oil to be sure they stay rust free until he can blue them. I told him Rem oil, but he is wanting something a bit heavier. Is that necessary and if so what can he use?
