    Short term rust prevention?

    I'm curious to know what you guys use as far as short term rust prevention. I've got plenty of stuff I can use but I'd like to hear what y'all think works best.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Well I was put onto an American product called EEZOX and have found it the best to date. I live down South in Australiaicon so have to contend with extremes of hot and cold, properly applied this stuff is just the Bee's Knee's.
    I do my firearms once a year using this stuff and then they don't need it is just gives me more fondling time.

    I've never seen that stuff before, I went to their site and it seems to be just what I was looking for. Thank you.

    I've been using Remoil on some pretty rusty things and it's worked very well.

    I use maintenance sprays when I am cleaning up deacts in my collection and other items of kit but I always go for silicone free types which not all versions are. I use 2 types, one of which doesn't leave much of a residue and the other one leaves a thin layer of wax; both types have their uses. Always be careful about using any product that contains silicone because it can cause no end of problems with any further refinishing that you may wish to do. Even having the contamination in your workshop could cause problems if you were doing other refinishing work on perhaps car bodywork.
