After cleaning a .22 rimfire question

[Dusty Stevens]

Has anybody tried to coat the bore with a wax similar to whats on the bullets?

Lock ease or Hoppe's #9 for me, in all my rifle or pistol bores.

I have no idea if there might be any validity to this, but I like the way you think Dusty. -- kinda scares me. jd

It was more of a hint than a question but i wanted to hear other’s opinions on what they have found

I think it makes perfect sense, if we could just find out what the recipe for the stuff is. Probably a proprietary blend of shrew fat and magnolia sap -- oughta be able to come up with sumpthin over on Cast Boollits. jd

I've tried TC Bore Butter before with some old Eley that the wax had dried. Only reason was a concern of leading w/o doing something. Shot fine both ways though.

According to your brand try high pressure filtered beeswax

I lube the barrel as a last step in every firearm I own.... That includes Rimfire , center-fire , pistol and rifle... I even do it on chrome lined barrels..... For extreme long term storage I have seen guys pump the barrel full of grease.... It sure ain't going to hurt it , just remember to wipe the oil out before shooting.....
