...I just finished pulling down and checking my 5 carbines that some I know had this stuff through them , though some might not have. No sign , after at least 4-5 weeks from shooting / cleaning , of any rust. Even pulled all nuts and pistons , ( don't do this as a rule , but this was a special case ) all clean except for powder residue stains , no rust signs.
Like I said , USGI WW2 bore cleaner , the white milky stuff , it was made for this. Soak it down good at the range , haul it home , ( lets it soak for 1/2 to 1 hour) , clean completely with your normal stuff , wipe dry when finished. Resoak for 1/2 to 1 hour with it again. Dry off and oil like normal .
Works for me , and note that while I live in a "dry" desert , this last month or so has been very wet.

It's good to know that it is the real deal and from the prices of the USGI that I have seen lately, I do believe that I did get a great deal.
