These ingredients help reduce friction, protect metal surfaces from rust, and ensure smooth operation of firearms. It is important to use gun oil specifically designed for firearms to maintain their proper function and longevity.

What to do if your pellet gun gets stuck in the rain?

Oil it with "Crosman Pellgun oil", "RWS OIL" or "Gamo Pellet gun oil" Wipe it down. DO NOT USE Household oil or 3-N-1 oil. They will damage the gun. Put a drop in the barrel and run a swab through the barrel. If it's a C02 gun then put a drop of oil where the C02 bottle fits into the gun and charge the gun. If it's a springer type of rifle, put a drop of oil in the oil hole in top of the rifle barrel or in the loading chamber. DON'T over oil the gun.

Can you use baby oil on metal... aka shotgun?

You are better off using gun oil, or at least a machine oil like sewing machine oil. Vegetable oil kind of smells, olive oil works better, but these organic oils are not as desirable as gun oil. You can use baby oil in a pinch, for a few months at a time. It is better than nothing, but you should wipe it down and replace it with a decent gun oil when you have a chance.
