Johnson's paste wax also works great for protecting gun metal from rain and snow.

Hence the need for stainless rifles. No WD40, no Johnson's paste wax, no nuthin.

Exactly. My stainless rifle survived all day in the rain. My blued revolver needed needed an emergency WD-40 cleaning that same day.

Stainless steel will rust if not taken care of properly. Just because you have a stainless rifle.or handgun does not mean it does not need to be oiled after its been wet.

Galvanized steel will rust too it will take a long time but it will. My dad's boat trailer has rust around the axles. It took about 12 years or so. But it will rust. Stainless will rust but it takes a long time and has to not be taking care off. Especially if it is wet and taking in and out of warmer temps. Known a lot of people that worked at Bethahelm steel and they will al back me up on stainless rusting.

I let the sure be sure and just ignore them. Like I'm going to change !!!

I was just kidding. Any steel will rust.

But I can hunt a couple weeks in snow and bring the gun into a warm tent every night without worry.

I just give it a good going over at the end of season.

I've used it for 35 years for quick cleanups and spray down the bore of shotgun for lite plastic remove used it after a rain works great for that and wipe the gun down but when the gun goes in the safe CLP works best
