[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4152213, member: 15054"] Dad never cleaned or oiled his 30-30 that he bought new in 1974. No rust when i got it in 2000. It went to the deer woods every year until 2018. Does that mean just wipe it down with a shirt after hunting and store it in the house on a gun rack on the wall? I did some oil/lube testing on a 3 foot stick of flat steel that I sanded to make it shiny. Sectioned it off with masking tape and applied different oils in the sections. Let it sit outside until it began rusting until one section was nothing but rust. Mobli 1 synthetic oil was the first to fail. Now engine oil in an engine can prevent rust but not for very long unless it is developed to do just that. That is one reason Joe Gibbs made an oil for long term storage. Hot rod oil. You do yourself a favor and get some mild steel and sand it shiny and apply your favorite oils and then set it outside and see your results. I have pulled apart hundreds of engines with rust in the cylinder walls. Ones that were not leaking water.. they just sat there not running. I have also wiped down fresh bored cylinders with transmission fluid and with engine oil and stored them wrapped in a blanket not plastic and they all rusted. Tube grease did not allow rust to form. One of my favorite oils for preventing rust is Mercury Quicksilver 2 stroke. It won my bare steel rust test. [/QUOTE]
