Chamber care

[old_heli_logger]

How do you keep your chamber from rusting? We don't want lube in there or the brass won't stick to it and we'll get a bunch of bolt thrust. We also don't want it to rust, so....?

After cleaning the bore I wipe the chamber out with a snug fitting bore mop lightly coated with Kroil or Starrett instrument oil before storing the firearm. When getting the firearm ready to head to the range or field I will use a mop that is wet with denatured alcohol to remove the light oil coating from the chamber.

Has worked for me for 65+ years.

RIG grease. Once you get it coated you can wipe it dry with clean patches and it will still protect the metal.
