Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best ways to clean and maintain firearms for long-term storage?

For long-term storage, ensure firearms are thoroughly cleaned and then apply a quality gun oil to protect the bore and exterior metal parts from rust. Using specialized gun wipes or lubricants like Slip 2000 is effective. Consider using dehumidifiers or vapor barrier products within gun safes, especially in humid climates, to prevent corrosion.

What is the Ruger Precision Rifle safety bulletin about?

Ruger issued a safety bulletin for the Ruger Precision Rifle due to a rare issue where the bolt shroud and cocking piece could interfere, potentially causing light primer strikes or a failure to fire. Owners experiencing these issues should visit Ruger.com/RPRsafety for a replacement bolt shroud.

How should ammunition be stored for maximum longevity?

Ammunition should be stored in a climate-controlled environment, ideally inside a house or an air-conditioned space, to protect it from humidity and extreme heat. Storing ammunition in such conditions can ensure it lasts for decades, essentially indefinitely.

Are gun wipes effective for cleaning and lubricating firearms?

Yes, gun wipes impregnated with synthetic lubricants are highly effective for cleaning, lubricating, and preserving firearms. They offer a convenient, no-mess solution and provide humidity protection, making them suitable for both regular maintenance and field use.
