The Brady Standard urges careful gun handling from black powder days to modern smokeless powder. The piece notes rust from moisture and oiling needs, advising frequent cleaning after handling and silicone wiping to prevent barrel rust. It mentions a collector with decades old firearms kept secure yet occasionally examined.
The article recalls a well cared for firearm that remains pristine with a worn blue finish and polished stock. It notes modern cleaners including solvents inhibitors and oils, and suggests a 15 cent household lubricant suffices for gun maintenance. Proper care ensures the gun may outlive its owner and pass to a grandson.
