If you look at a few dozen old guns notice all of the oil soaked stocks with dark oil stains and cracks next to the actions.
Most of that is due to 3 in 1 Oil being the universal firearms lubricant back in the day. It was originally formulated
in 1894 for bicycle chains, to CLEAN off the road crud, and lightly lube the rusty links.
It's so thin it runs out one end when you put it on the other end!
And it offers almost zero rust protection.
Use it to oil your rusty gate hinge and buy some modern gun care products.
