Cleaning new blued revolvers

[Invictus357]

Ballistol

If you are sensitive to smells, get the Ballistol wipes.

Run them through like a patch.

Spray down your gun with Ballistol.

Scrub down with nylon brush.

Use bronze brush and then use boresnake on barrel and charge holes.

Wipe gun down.

Done

I use mass airflow sensor cleaner from the auto parts store. Won't harm plastics either.

You know those sets of gun brushes that come 3 in a package? Usually one is nylon, one is bronze, and one is stainless steel. I set aside the stainless brush far away from my guns so I don't accidentally use it. I used a stainless brush before, and it took off the bluing.


Something else to consider is not storing blued guns in foam lined cases, since the moisture buildup can cause rust.

I had a Ruger Stainless Single Six that you had to nearly beat the empty cases out of the cylinder . I found a stainless bore brush in my kit and used it to polish out the cylinder . Problem solved .
I have two blued revolvers that I place in gun sacks and store in a foam lined hard case . ZERO moisture issues . If the inside of your safe is dry , you aren't going to have moisture problems .
