This man is the Bob Ross of firearms... So relaxed... Keeps saying just kinda whatever works... I love it lol
"...and we'll fire this happy little gun right over here' lol!!!
lmao same
If he ever talks about a happy little bullet kissing the gong, Ill fall over dead laughing.........
That’s ... and oddly accurate comparison
I like him..He's punctual...I follow his same format instinctively
Came here cause I let my first gun rust.
How long did it take to rust an what conditions did you store it in?
It depends on where you're at in the country too. Where I grew up everything rusted. It wasn't a matter of whether you would get rust or not it was a matter of how soon. We were in a humid area where it got very cold in the winter. You leave a gun in your car overnight and the temperature goes down at night and water condensates on metal services. It takes some time to learn about it but it's not the end of the world. I grew up shooting Rusty 70 year old firearms. We used to use hoppes number 9 to take the rust off gently. Wipe it down wait a day wipe it again. You would be shocked at what it would get rid of. I'm thankful to be in the desert now. Sometimes I forget to check something for a couple years and it's still fine
Where I grew up if you keep guns and socks like he does they would be solid rust in a couple days. Mainly because they don't have time to dry out after the water condensates under that sock. We found that allowing them air movement while trying to keep them in a warmer area where you wouldn't condensate
@@LesDeplorablesim moving to the desert thank the lord :D
@@Wes0602 I'm in AZ now. We have constitutional carry with no permit required for residents. I don't have to worry about the old blued 38 that I leave in my truck all the time. I do pull it out every six months to a year just to inspect it. But, no rust. It wouldn't make it a day without rust in other areas...
I am Sure Hickock45 has a "Walk in Safe" :)
Drive in!
I just imagine it's like the United States Army Center of Military History's storage section.
it helps no one to discuss what he has.
We're being facetious, there's this thing called joking around.
Nah his safe is so big you could land a 747 in there! lol
you know what they say about a guy who has big socks....
he has long rifles
Top Comment, lol.
lol!!!
Big feet?
Big Shoes!!!
Has big toes
As a person taking their first steps to becoming a new shooter, thank you for making videos like this. Super helpful to learn the basics.
All you need to know to avoid rust is to avoid buying Remington. Problem solved.
Ahote he was the first TH-camr I started following once I starred shooting. Great channel!
After 6 years of shooting, I hope you’re doing great and not listening to the Fudd’s like the dude 4 years ago in these comments 😂
Funny, Hickok's advice is exactly what my grandpa told me about gun care 40 years ago. Normal wear and tear from the range or hunting trips adds character but dings from inside the safe hurt the soul...
Good solid advice on this video, as always.
Small scufs and discoloration give firearms a little character. I can see a gun collector doing this rather than the average joe. I like my toys to show they are being used.
Paul Simmons ...my grandpa taught me the same!
What are you moving the safe with the firearms in the safe people this dumb should not have guns
@@iocsparkfire00 quite the dumbass you are. Maybe you shouldn’t have a gun
Silica Gel packets in your storage...
I realize this is an older video of yours but I found it incredibly educating! I just bought my 10th firearm and a gun cabinet. I love guns. My Grandfather took on my first hunting trip in the woods around his house with my first BB gun at 16, I tried my hand at trapping out there last winter and am about to go on my first elk hunt in October. As much as I love guns and collect guns I never put much thought into this. I have been getting these strange touches of rust on some of my higher end guns and it didn't occur to me why till I saw this video! I take extremely good care of my guns and had thought setting them in a case with moisture absorber packets would be good. My parents were never fond of guns, and no one has really taken the time to explain this to me. And I like collecting the older historical stuff. With all these new gun owners a video like this would be great to revisit!
big gun sock fan as well
Come on now tell the truth I've seen you toss your guns around, seems to me I've also seen you stack guns in your safe with no socks lmao
That soldier who let Hickock borrow his gun was a genius. It’ll come back in better shape than when he left it.
Even shooting better.
I'm a newer shooter and nobody ever mentioned these to me. thanks for the heads up
Some good rust-preventing tips here Hickok.
Now how do we protect guns from their other mortal enemy, Politicians?
Do nöt vote for such politicans.And do nöt select such characters .So be active in your political party.
AlphaHawkP Get a politician sock! XXL for the real blowhards.
You mean Democrats
@@ccvee7287
No. Since I'm a Democrat and a gun owner.
@@baklash1762
They aren't trying to take my guns.
I've been known to use actual socks for handguns. If the washing machine eats one, the mate becomes a gun sock. As far as oiling - a million years ago in basic training I learned to oil guns using a shaving brush, and I've used one ever since. A few drops of oil on the bristles is enough to put a nice light coat of oil on a firearm. The bristles get in all the nooks and cranies, it's fast, and there's hardly any waste. A small automotive detailing brush with long, soft bristles works well too. JAT
Love this idea, thank you!
Nice. Gonna try that right now. Thx
Wow thanks...btw what kind of oil do you use to oil the gun? P.S. Thanks for your Service.
@@angietyndall7337 here's what I use that is best for me.
Hoppe's #9 bore cleaner
Old shirts (patches)
Ballistol
But, experiment with different brands to see what's best. Other's advice aren't wrong, but sometimes they're not effective. We are all different in our own ways.
I apply most CLPs or oils with a clean(no dirt or crud) 👕 or lint free cloth. A gun care swab or Q tip, pipe cleaner can oil slide rails, barrel sections. I check pistol mags too. Most can be field strip quickly but they do not need gobs of CLP or oils. Just remove the sand, dirt, crud then re assemble.
God bless gundoms
I recommend packs of silica gel along with the gun socks to keep out moisture
I keep a few of the big packs in my safe :)
Giant Mechs?
Rust control
That model of 870 would rust covered in oil in the middle of the Sahara. I’ve used gun socks since my first purchase. Great advise!
My 870 rusts no matter what i do
@@beebop4333 try Fluid film. Works amazingly well.
Guns invite rust. Especially OLD guns you haven't handled for years. The Luger my father took off a Nazi officer in 1945. You never look at them, never oil them, and they are rusting away.
I checked a lot of e-books with woodworking plans. Instructions from woodprix are the best I think.
@Raji Kanufa I'm glad to hear that
It's quite interesting. When I was younger, I was always considering guns as tools, never really pay attention to take care of them (beside cleaning to make sure they work properly). But now I'm getting older and that I'm more interested in gun history, collecting them, etc... I'm more careful with them. So it's a good video. Thanks!
I am a old electrician who has a wire connecter collection with more 60 different examples.
7:46 New product idea, "Hickok's Socks" !
I'm a really new shooter, I started training May this year, and since then I've been watching your old videos as well as the new ones and I have learned A LOT. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
My first self purchase of a gun, in my teens, was my 870 Wingmaster. Always took great care of it until I got interested in double guns. The 870 became my "barn gun" to use on varmits out there; where it hung unused for nearly 30 years. Was it rusty? You bet, just as humid here as there. The ejector rivets were rusted out and ejector was sitting on the lifter. Stocks were checked and rotted. A year or so ago, after watching you, I tore it down and rubbed it down with oiled 4-"0" steel wool, new black plastic stocks, ghost ring sights and front high vis sight. Plus the extended tube. Also polished the chamber and barrel. This improved cylinder barn hanger looks pretty passible now and shoots slugs just as you demonstrate so often. THANKS!
"Do you like guns? Do you like socks? WELL YOU'LL LOVE...!!!"
there's just something about s&w revolvers
Kory Dowell Oh yeah baby, the classics
Peter Kazavis I love Rugers. My CCW is a ruger
Outstanding preventive maintenance video. In addition to oil - for the past couple years I have been running little $20 heat rods in my safes. They cost maybe $10 a year to operate, and keep the inside of the safe just a couple degrees warmer than the surrounding area in my basement, avoiding condensation on the cool metal of the firearms. Not a spot of rust since using them.
Good idea to talk about these things. Also, your thoughts on "not touching the metal" is SPOT ON! Yes, it will leave oils. Yes, it require a few seconds of attention, but so what.
6,8,10,15 firearms...you know, a "new" shooter lol
He’s not lying lol. Ive had hunting related guns for a while but ive just recently started looking into getting a gun for personal defense and Lord help me, ive already got a list :(
Right - you know, before you need to dedicate a computer and database program to keep track of where they are stored and when they were last oiled . . .
Thanks for this video. Very helpful.
Yeah well, it's Hickok. I knew it would be helpful, And it was, so piss off.
Ian Blair TH-cam info is not always accurate
Karl Marques i didn't even know this was a thing until i seen this im getting one for my rifle
Biggest OG ever. So much respect. My gun safe is looking 💯 because of good folk like you. 4 year old video, yet I still revisit the brilliance
Even if you keep the gun in it's original box or plastic case PUT THE GUN IN A GUNSOCK! The foam rubber inside some of those boxes will eat the bluing off a gun, or damage the stainless, or the parkerizing, or other finishes, whether on the metal or the wood, or plastic parts. Gun socks are cheap insurance.
I also use something to absorb moisture in my gun safe.
a little night-light type bulb in the safe helps as well. Provided it raises the temp a couple degrees from outside the safe, there can be no condensation.
+Duh Arrhea never thought about that. Like the other guy said I use the moisture absorbing material. I think you can buy it at places like Home Depot or other similar hardware stores.
Good thing we have barely any moisture in AZ....however we could use the moisture for cooling down though.
I decided against using the power outlets in my Liberty. My luck, something would short out and start a fire in my safe destroying everything I was trying to protect.
Illusive Man humidity makes heat worse
What do I do about my shrinking safe?
It's a malady we all suffer.
When two guns love each other very much........
+strakill they will share grease .
Buy a new bigger one, sell the old one.
You'll find space.
John John quit watching TH-cam gun reviews.... haha we all have the same problem here...
So basically, "oil it up and wrap that rascal !"
I'm a carpenter/woodworker, and I have always gotten complements on the condition of my tools. I always say "My tools are in good shape because I take care of them". And a gun is a tool as well! Take care of them.
My Bore Stores have kept my guns in great shape for over 25 years. They are treated with silicone and a rust inhibitor. Bore Stores is a family run business in Yellville, AR. Not the cheapest, but I like to support small USA businesses.
Randy Lunn i enjoy supporting my local imports from China 😝
Have a dozen Bore Stores too, love em!
They work quite well and are nicely padded too. I agree not the cheapest but very high quality
I too have used Bore Stores 🐗 since the 1990s. I've had 2 pistol sizes but I'd suggest a larger bag, rifle size to any serious shooter, collector. I'd add the older format seemed better but the new type with "labels" should be removable, detached. Color choices would be a + too so you could tell at a quick glance which gun is inside.
@@SA-hk8xj I agree, a excellent gun care product. With proper use, the bags can last 20, 30+ years....
can u do one on how to store ammo?
Over 40 years collecting long guns and pistols I learned two things; rust is the 2nd biggest threat, second only to our US Government, 99% of all damages are from digging in and out of the safes. A golden rod has served me well from rust, the other threat, well....
Did anyone else catch when he said “laying around on ONE of my safe doors” 😭. I aspire to get there one day.
I also used to use oil soaked rags, then switched to gun socks.
I've unintentionally progressed onto oil soaked gun socks.
Made the mistake of putting my guns in a safe in a room that's not heated well and the temperature differential at night and day caused condensation. Those gun socks are a terrific idea. That said I just grab them every so often and hose them lightly with RemOil or something and give them a wipe. He's dead on with this.
that is why they make safes nowadays with temperature controls and dehumidifiers.
Get a heat stick, many safes have a hole in the top for the wire to go through. Just a source of heat that keeps the interior of the safe warmer that the exterior and prevents condensation. But do wipe the firearms down with an oily rag, best protection.
You can also get a small special lightbulb that will evaporate all the moisture. They're pretty cheap as well.
+3ducs I moved the safe to a different room.
Yeah but he did say he left that oily rag just hanging around on his gun safe door knob which will gather dust particles and that ain't good and will scratch your guns lightly of course but just store the rag in a drawer or in the gun safe itself !!! But I do love those gun socks so just something else to buy for my guns protection and proper maintenance !!!
I don't have a gun safe right now. However I do have a walk in closet / gun room. Is there anything I can do to help against fire.?
Close down your meth lab and quit smoking in bed!!! :-)
Seriously, I don't really know of anything short of a fireproof safe. I don't even totally trust a fireproof safe. If you've ever seen a house fire and what's left, it doesn't inspire confidence in anything short of being buried in the ground about six feet down. :-)
Thank you hickok45! I am a new shooter and your videos and tips are helpful. I just purchased my first firearm this week, a Remington 1100 Magnum with a 3” barrel. The purchase included 3 additional 2-3/4 in barrels in assorted lengths, all for an affordable price. I went with a friend to our local trap, skeet and sporting clay club near Everglade City and It was a great time. I guess I am hooked.
I went into a gun shop that I hadn't been in for a couple of years. The guy behind the counter remembered me as the guy who asked for a rag after I handled some of the guns.
Cleaning my firearms, taking them down and reassembling them, reloading cartridges, all these things are cathartic to me. Helps me relax and unwind.
Some people make model planes, some people are into little trains, others are into firearms, the results the same, relaxation👍
Its like knitting is for your grandma, just a simple yet practical task that you can do while relaxing
If you're going to store guns in your socks, I recommend washing them first. :)
Can you do a video on cleaning various types of guns, specifically a semi automatic 12 gauge? Thanks.
Very new shooter here. I've learned so much from you sir. Thank you! I'm off to look for gun socks now...
Great review, as always. Ty! I store my Colts, stacked and locked, in the original blue plastic padded "boxes". They aren't quick-draw but they are protected. I HATE DRAW-STRINGS TOO!!
All my guns are in gun socks in side my safe!!!! YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT THIS SUBJECT BROTHERMAN!!!!😊👍👍🤟🤘🤣
I have to share this; years ago, I had a gunshop, and when I closed up, I had a modest inventory that I kept. Some of the more treasured items - Python, Series 70 1911, Luger, Model 29, Whitneys, etc. - I wrapped up in silicone-impregnated cloth before storing; others, I just oiled with good oil, and put in cases.
That was in the '70's, just before my career took me away into computer technology, which eats every millisecond of your life. Fast forward 40 years to retirement, and out come the guns. To my chagrin, here and there I found a pit or two - or more - among the guns not wrapped in Silicone cloth.
The worst was an 8mm Mauser war relic, that wasn't all that good to start with, but now looked like it had been stored in a saltwater aquarium - rust everywhere. I puzzled over how to bring it back, and hit on an idea - reducing agent.
There's a product sold all over the place called Tarn-x, advertised for making tarnished silver and brass, etc. shine again. Smells like the dickens - sort of sulfuric. I took a Q-tip and dipped it, then swabbed the solution on some rusty parts to see what would happen. In the rustier areas, it took several applications, and for some parts, I just put them in a bath of the stuff. It removed every last hint of rust - turned the iron oxide back into elemental iron by taking away the oxygen from it.
You need to rinse it thoroughly, and oil it or blue and oil it quickly, but the Mauser looks better than the day it went into the box in about '77. I've used it on blued guns of various degrees of pitting, and it cleared up the cruft. Thought I'd share; rust only gets worse over time unless you stop it dead.
The Remington 870 is black oxide. Not a real Parkerized. It is much less protective than blueing. Agree with silicone treated socks.
Thanks, Hickok. I'm a new shooter and this is really helpful.
I've always kept my PISTOLS in suede rugs and sprayed WD 40 and desiccant packets in the rug.😉👍
remington 870 is not parkerized. oxide finish and it will rust regardless of what you do. especially the reciever. common complaint on newer 870 . Possibly since or a bit before freedom group aqquired remington.
Scratches
I have seen so many people at the range setting their guns directly onto concrete tables etc
I always us towels/blanket/ or a felt/rubber pad which folds up and fits in an ammo box.
Why neglect something not so cheap these days?
It never hurts to speak on firearm basics. Some "experts" forget things too. I have several of these socks myself and need a few more. These things are amazing during deer season when we hunters leave a rig in the truck and are neglectful.
I use different colored tube socks to store my pistols and I get renaissance gun wax for all my rifles and shot guns its just an extra layer of rust protection I use ...for we want everyone to hold and touch the firearms ...once they do they will be hooked ...just as I was...lol
I have a lot to learn. I just bought a S&W SD9VE and am a first time gun owner so this video is very helpful for me. I need to learn about this oiling and cleaning the gun too but that’s another video I guess.
Anyway thanks Mr. Hickok45.
SD9VE is VERY susceptible to rusting.
C&C Vee Its been a bit if time since I posted here....But yeah it will rust if you don’t take care of it. I’ve had mine for a while now and it has no rust at all. If you put gun oil on the outside of the slide and then just gently rub it off with a cloth where there’s a light layer of oil left on it then it should be good...Oil it like you would do with the outside of a rifle barrel and again, the SD9VE will not rust.
Personally I do this with all my guns so....
Not sure if you will see this hickok, wondering if you can make a video on how soldiers maintained their guns in the field during Vietnam, desert storm, etc. did they have cleaning equipment or did they use something else to maintain weapons?
Wow! That Henry at 7:00 is beautiful!
Ik this was 3years but there my favorite rifle
Just got my F4 Crosman air rifle thank you for the tip I'll put a sock on the end of the barrel until I can do better
New shooter here: thanks for this and all your tips!
The perfect storage solution is to have a collection so large it requires a VCI-infused vending machine that uses a phone app to place a dispensing order
My great grandfather had some really nice colts. He showed me on of his pistols that had a serial #4 on it. He said he bought it used in 1919. He had some real history in his old wooden gun cabinet in his bedroom. When he pas see passed away my uncle got them and know they are locked in a liberty safe. Thanks for your videos.
Great 👍🏾 choice in a safe.Definitely liberty or cannon I would prefer as well,but all hands down your grandfather in my opinion chose the best safe going with the liberty because it will stand strong for years to come.
Thanks for tips I have learned a good bit from Your videos I may invest in those I live next to lake and I have been having issues I may invest in gun socks. Thanks for video.
This is why I always try to buy my pistols with stainless steel slides.
Even stainless can rust if it's the right blend.
My pistol stainless has a bit of rust appearing im trying to figure out how to prevent this
For handguns, what do you think of just buying some cheap tube socks and treating them with silicone spray or some other light spray oil? Even in packs of 6 the commercial "gun socks" are $3 to $4 each. For $6 to $8 you can probably buy 3 or 4 pairs of tube socks. Most of my handguns are 4" bbl or less, so a regular tube sock would work fine--especially if you don't want or need the draw string.
terry smith I think he said he would just use socks if they were big enough. I dont see why not. Just lightly oil them maybe.
Good idea. I tried some knee high socks I found at the dollar store.(2for a buck) Sprayed some light silicone oil on them and it rusted the barrel on my trusty savage22 bolt action rifle.
I'd love to know which jack-wagons gave this a thumbs-down? Stupid is is stupid does. My uncle invented the tube-sock (Pat Thrash for Twin City Socks) and they developed an enlarged sock for shotguns back in the 1960's. I have socks for everything!
It has been my experience that parkerization actually makes a firearm MORE likely to rust. The issue I have seen with my 870 is the texture of the parkerized surface. I always put a thin coat of oil on my guns when they will not be used for awhile, but no matter what I use to wipe away the excess: cloth, microfiber, paper towels, they all leave behind some stupid little fibers that get caught in those small valleys. The texture of the surface attracts and traps dust. I eventually plan to refinish it with standard bluing. I have never seen an issue with rust on a blued gun that is properly maintained, but even with appropriate maintenance on my gun, it still tries everything in its power to rust up on me. Great inexpensive gun, otherwise.
I also discovered a neat little trick when storing firearms, knifes or anything prone to corrosion for long terms. I usually apply a generous amount of oil to the metal and wood/horn and then tightly wrap it in some static cling wrap. I was concerned at first that maybe the plastic would do some harm to the metal, since I had never tried it before, but I kept an eye on my knives that I first tried it on and it works great. The knives are uncoated 1095 carbon steel, highly prone to corrosion. I switched out one of the two after a few months to closely examine it, then re-wrapped it. The other knife has been stored this way for roughly 1.5 years and is perfectly preserved. One precaution I might take, however, particularly with knives. It would probably be a good idea to remove the wrap and let the blade acclimate for a few days before you intend to use it. When you remove the cling film, just toss it in with the recycling and you have an environmentally low-impact, highly cost-effective storage system. This is for LONG-TERM storage, though. It would be unnecessary and wasteful to do this to a gun you use every other month or so.
I hate watching these vids cause they scare me into thinking my firearms are gonna die if I don't go check on em rn.
This episode is exactly the reason I subscribe. Sound advice, presented more as suggestion, rather than a demand. The presentation of the material is no nonsense, yet given in plain language. It is an affirmation of how the law-abiding practice safe handling of firearms. It also grants the viewers opportunity to experience historical firearms demonstrated in practicality, with a history lesson to boot. Well done, Hickok.
I was told today by a knowledgeable gun seller, owner and 1000 yard + shooter that soft cotton zippered gun cases will cause rust in storage... 🤔
I know it's been a while but I can't believe nobody answered you! Just seen your comment but I've heard the same thing. I know I had one that got a little lite rust in a cotton case zipped but it mightve been my case not wiped it down before I put it in it. I will tell you I have a single shot 20 gauge I had in one and I put it away hidden in case somebody broke in and after a while I went to check on it and a few others in zipped cases all bought at the same place at the same time, but when I went to check on them, hunting guns just 3 but I had other cases I've had fir a while laid on top of them, but the one with my single shot I do not know what was different about it but a rat or squirrel had chewed that one case all to pieces and I mean shredded it and no they were not outside but the other ones laid right next to it they never touched not one bit. And a couple of the others was easier to get to but that one had something that realy drawer them to it! But I would like to know the answer to your question to buddy! I hope you and your family is doing good! Take care buddy!
Great points - I use the gun socks, a gun rag with silicone, and even keep a silicone spray can when handling which for a little dampening of the rag - this takes any fingerprints off the firearm. Really important, and yes, not going overboard like you said. Your firearms will last forever with a little extra care. Great job as always. Thank you
What kind of leather covers that table and where can I get one ?? Excellent advise on socks and wipe-down before storage.
Brazilian cowhide.
Do you use gun socks for AR-15's??
i tried but with a optic its hard to get on
I use them on mine they stretch a lot. I stretch them over scopes on several of my rifles. They breath too which gun cases don't.
Could just grab a big rag or towel and wrap it with that.
Liberty Prime i use a blanket
What about concealed carry... Is it necessary to wipe down and holster. How often would you oil the concealed carry?
Depends on the season, climate, use, etc. Generally, I wipe down my guns almost every time I touch them. Keeping a slightly oily rag handy makes this pretty simple. With a polymer pistol, it's a bit different. I don't really wipe down my Glocks or SIGs very often, or my AR15. It's the traditional blued, nickel, or even stainless revolvers, rifles, and shotguns that I religiously wipe down after any touching at all.
My gun sock stocks keep going down. It's a rough market.
I have a Henry and the blueing on the barrel is starting to rust any suggestions on how to clean it I’ve already tried just wipeing it with oil and nothing happened
Try using four odd (0000) steel wool. Place oil on rust and all surrounding area that the steel wool will come into contact and then *GENTLY* rub at the rust. Be sure to clean the area well after so as not to leave specks of wool on the gun, because they are ferrous and will promote rust.
Sweet Jesus, that Henry is eye candy.
The yreated socks pass the liquid onto the gun thence rust. wash them. also the grips and gripmscrees need piled on edges and on the screws. loosen them for extended storage
I've heard that from a few people, but I've never experienced it.
All my gun socks got holes in the toes.
Every time I try not to touch the metal, I drop the dam thing now I hold it like a baseball bat.
Rusting because it's a Remington lol
That finish Remington uses is very prone to rusting. I've seen brand new ones in stores with rust on them.
Rustington lol
just bought a 700 adl and had to send it back cause the bolt and barrel were rusted out of the box....
+Justin lawrence Don't buy new Remington. post 2007 Remingtons suck
Justin lawrence That's why you should spend a bit more an a custom tikka or something not a 700 or get a milsurp.
I am just a 19 year - old college student, and while my family is into guns, we've never actually owned our own since my dad's a U.S. military chaplain so he doesn't even get to have his own personal firearm in combat, just a rule the military has. That kind of became a habit for him and he never got one for himself. The problem is not whether or not my parents will let me get one, the issue is I am unsure as to how I go about getting into the gun community and where to begin? I know I could probably buy a long gun, like a shotgun or something, but if I had my dad buy a handgun, could he give it to me? How does that work? I've shot small rifles, shotguns, and a revolver before, but that's it and it was a family friend's. I'm interested in starting to grow up and I know this is something I definitely want to get into, haha.
A shotgun or ar-15, even a .22 rifle is a good first. Whatever you wanna play at the range with first. I live in Ohio and here you can buy a gun and privately gift or sell it so someone you know, as long as you know they are also allowed to buy one. So as long as no one is a convicted criminal or has a criminal record it should be good. As for your situation, here it’d be fine as long as you and your dad are allowed to purchase firearms
can you make a video on removing rust the proper way
I just discovered a new scratch on my favorite rifle..... I'm definitely buying a new gun sock for every gun I own!
i wish i had a gun
Go get some old surplus rifle
I feel your pain man, in my country gun laws are really strict. Just bought an air rifle, I should register it even tho its not a firearm
I started getting surface rust on my 357 and first thing I thought, “Hickok45 has a video for this”.
What type of oil does he use on the rag?
For my .22 groundhog slayer, I use wd40 and have for 4 years and It works well for external applications but they don't resist heat like gun oil so just do it when you are cleaning the exterior to pop it back in the safe and that seems to work well
do you store rifes barrell up or barrell down
Good question. Just depends on the stock. IF there's a rubber butt pad on the stock, I try to avoid resting the gun on that pad for long periods of time. I figure it can't be good. Otherwise, it just depends on how it fits in the safe best.
I know why the Americans do not like Russian, you have socks without heels and under the tab with your fingers! )))
+олег новиков Russians are the best drinking buddies I swear
signs80 ))) I believe you!
I store them vertically.
Stupid question but oily rag? Are we talking the same gun oil you put on your guns moving parts ?
Brock Kirschenmann u could use cooking oil
Specifically to shine the exterior
I use lanolin, oil from sheep wool.
Erick Rosa No, not cooking oil
ytsur8599 If its only about moisture protection, isn't WD 40 the end all, be all??? It does stand for water displacement
My grandpappy used motor oil
I totally agree about gun socks. I've always used a Shaving brush with a few drops of oil to get into all the small places as well as making it faster to oil the whole firearm no matter what contour you have to deal with. Something I learned in the army 37 years ago. The only thing is they don't make shaving brushes like they used to. The shaving brush I had from the army is still around with just a few less hairs. I've gone through about 4 or 5 of the new shaving brushes in the past year or two. Seems like the oil eats the glue that holds the brush into the handle.
I wonder how a foam paint brush would hold up?
@@robormiston2841 not sure about foam but a small bristle paintbrush should work well. I would think foam might tear or leave too much oil behind
I have high-end shotguns ($7k to $19k) I coat with the best oil I’ve used: Fluid-Film. It stays on the metal and doesn’t effect the wood and then I wrap the gun with neoprene. Also, put all the gun safe’s interior sharp edges with plumbing pipe insulation foam.
I love this dude.
as an owner of a couple of older blued guns and 1911s, shooting those guns with gloves is a must. your hand oils will EAT AWAY at those finishes really quick and surface rust will form almost immediately overnight even if you wipe them down. Modern handguns are a bit better with this. Polymer handguns obviously dont have this issue which is a big plus.
Just keep them oiled and wiped down; they will be fine. I have never worn gloves with old guns and don't know anybody who has, other than maybe a museum curator who is handling one for a History Channel special. :-)
@@hickok45 I do keep them in socks, should i oil the outside of the guns as well?
I just use the box they come in.
You must have a gigantic safe! :-)
The boxes can contain a lot of moisture !
+hickok45 I don't have a safe, I store them in my cupboard.
hickok45 and also I have to saver this moment this is the first time I have got a reply from you, Sir it is a honour to be a subscriber. Brilliant video Sir
***** I haven't had that problem, but thanks all the same.
I could listen to the Internet Grandpa's advice all day like it was ASMR.
You can always do what I did a few years ago. I remodeled my basement and before I really got into it, I built a concrete block room in the basement. Filled the block with concrete and put a vault door on it. I figured I could buy a vault for three or four thousand and have restricted space or I could spend the same amount on a vault door so that's what I did. Sure wish I still had that house. lol
How do you prevent against rust ? Can someone explain
I hear whipping with wd-40 helps not rust
hickok, you the best. hi from Argentina.
