Hello guys, I was wondering if anyone else has used Break Free Collector on blued revolvers.

Earlier this evening, I cleaned my Highway Patrolman with Corrosion X, then slathered on some Break Free Collector, and may have inadvertently combined the two products.

Does anyone think mixing the two products will harm the bluing? Should I wipe everything off and start over? Am I overly obsessing about oil?

You are overly obsessing. If you shoot the gun regularly, any oil will do for the short periods between cleaning.

If you don't shoot it regularly, you need to wax it with either Johnson & Johnson paste wax or Renaissance wax with the Renaissance the preferred product. I loaned a waxed, blued, rifle to my son-in-law for his first deer hunt. It rained for three days straight, and him not being a gun type, didn't detail strip the rifle to dry it or even remove the action from the wood stock. When I got the firearm back after six weeks, the only spots of rust were in the scope ring screws where I couldn't get the wax. I'm a believer.

When he bought his first rifle, I convinced him to buy one with a stainless steel action and barrel so he wouldn't ruin it before becoming familiar with detail stripping when needed.

Thanks for the reply MichiganScott. It sounds like wax for storage and oil for using/shooting.

I haven't owned a blued revolver in so long, I just never thought of using the Johnson or the Renaissance, but now that I have a couple of model28's, I will look into getting some of the stuff.

Take care

I've heard Mobil1 works well too, the non detergent full synthetic. I stick with CLP myself.....
