Do I have to be concerned about the amount of Burke's Gun Oil
I use on my firearm?
No you don't. Burke's does not attract dirt & debris and will
not impede the function of your firearm although excessive amounts
in the barrel are not recommended, as it will change point of impact.
Actually we spray it on actions during shooting/practice sessions
to free up actions and make cycling faster and smoother.

it could soil clothing if used to excess.

What is the difference between rust and corrosion?
Rust forms when firearms are exposed to moisture either from the environment or through handling. Moisture combined with salt is particularly damaging. If this condition is left unattended, corrosion or pitting will occur, marring the appearance and possibly the function of your firearm. |
