FC Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 From a letter to Fur, Fish, and Game: Prestone Advanced Forumula Antifreeze Coolant mixed with equal parts distilled water. Protects metal and inhibits rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_TYRVR Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 For more years than I like to think about I have used common windshield washer fluid mixed with Hoppes #9 plus to clean black powder guns, I mix one gallon of windshield wash and one bottle of Hoppes #9 plus....makes enough to last a lonnnnng time.

AzRednek Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Sounds like a good idea but keep in mind anti-freeze is poisen and especially hazordous to dogs that for some strange reason are attracted to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoLo25643 Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Yep, water. And then a little swipe down the bore with your prefered antirust compound. Mine is Ballistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Ballistol sure works, but sure stinks! I use it for my 1858 Rem. revolver to cut down on fouling seize-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
