Testing various types of gun oil

Steinar,

This is a worthwhile test. I am surprised at some of the results. I didn't expect the WD-40, Mobil 1 and Breakfree LP to hold up nearly as well as they did. As you know I expected the "Bear fat" #12 to hold up the best since I was told it has the same main ingredients as Cosmolene, But from the photos I expect that to be the next one to rust since it is starting to change color on the bottom right side.

In addition to the pipe test, you may want to do a repeatability test that is identical to the test you are now conducting to see if the end results are still the same.
