I'm not a fan of the CLP/3-in-1 products. My reasons are my reasons and won't be debated here.
I have a bore cleaner I like to use and a lube I like to use, now I'm looking for a straight rust preventative. What's your recommendation for a rust preventative only? |

Also CLP Breakfree Collector.
It's a thicker LP without the "C". An excellent rust preventing product. |

It's great for dressing up a faded black polymer/plastic/whatever stock. Makes them bright and shiny again. |

Use VCI emitters in your safe and you'll never have rust, whether your firearms are well lubed or not.
Forget goldenrods and dessicant, VCI is absolutely superior. I personally use the Zerust VC2-2 capsules and never see rust. Aside from that, I use MPro7 LPx oil and it seems like a very good oil that's great for long term storage |

I like RIG. I keep a cotton rag soaked with it to wipe down guns. I have a container with RIG that is thinned with mineral spirits. I'll wash dies in straight mineral spirits and then dip them in the thinned RIG mix. The mineral spirits evaporates off, leaving a nice thin even coat of protective grease. It works great.

no-ox-1D "A". Product of Sanchem, Chicago, Ill. Will keep cheap steel from rusting in a salt mine. Excellent for long term storage of any ferrous material. I thin some with mineral spirits and work it into a wiping rag then charge the rag with ATF or thicker hydraulic fluid. Guns simply don't rust when wiped down with it.

I have been using Lucas extreme gun oil (blue stuff) for years. Works well. It doesn't evaporate off, stink, or become greasy/sticky. A few drops on a rag goes a long way for basic rust prevention

I’ve been using Rem Oil on guns and knives for about 30 years. No signs of rust yet.

Eezox oil is always a top contender in youtube rust tests and the ones done by members of this site.

I live on the Coast of Texas and Rust is a big problem. I have tried them all over the years and some are good and some not so much. The best I have found is CorrosionX. It has worked for me and I spent a good amount of time on the phone with the developer back in the day before he passed. So far the only change to the product in 25 years is they removed the dye. It was red and now it. regular oil color. I have not had rust problems in years. But thee are just my results.

Also I might add, I own a working ranch and my rifles are out everyday in the pasture, dew and rain etc.

RIG stands for Rust Inhibiting Grease. Pretty self-explanatory. Just sayin'.
