Dear FireArmProtector,
I recently received a revolver from a customer that had been placed in a wet ammo box after a day at the range was cut short due to a thunderstorm. He also put his two automatic pistols in the same wet box.
Then He Forgot About Them!
When he came across them, he brought them to me, still in the ammo box. The pistols were not in too bad of shape but the revolver was completely seized up, nothing moved.
I took the grips off the revolver and placed it in a ZipLoc bag and hosed it down liberally with Steelgard Firearm Protector and sealed it. I stripped down the pistols and did the same.
I let them soak for 4 days and then checked them. The pistols after being wiped down were ready for cleaning and reassembly. With the revolver I was able to open the cylinder and move the hammer and trigger. I gave it another hosing and put it in a fresh bag with some more Steelgard. After letting it soak for another few days I was able to disassemble it for a proper cleaning and it now works perfectly.
Thank You Steelgard for turning what could have been a nightmare into one of the easiest jobs of this kind I have received.
I’m hooked, I will use Steelgard for all my Firearms applications and by the way, it works great on automotive and farm applications as well.
Thank You for a Great Product,

Ordered 3 cans and they sent 6 as I was the first online customer…..works good inside for cleaning and light coat outside. It stays very wet on patches and breaks down build up inside barrels quite fast especially if you let it sit for 5 minutes or so.

I have had a chance to try it out on quite a few guns and have to say it is wonderful!
Some of the guns I recently used it on were really gunky and had minor surface rust. By applying it to the rust and gunk and letting it soak in for a while, most times I was able to remove these problems easily, some gunk took more than one application and soaking but it worked excellent for the really hard places where it is difficult to get a brush, swab or even a pipe cleaner in and made the actions work smooth as silk.
After cleaning and using it instead of regular gun oil, it really brought out the sheen of the blued metal parts and made the colors of case harden really stand out and look absolutely beautiful. One customer had an old double barrel shotgun that I worked on for him and he said that he didn't remember the gun ever looking so good.
I am very happy with Steelgard.John Kramer, Gunsmith

My father-in-law introduced me to Steelgard. I keep a can on top of my gun safe so it is handy to use on my guns before storing. A spray into the action and down the barrel, and on the exterior, followed by a bore patch and quick wipe has proven to be an effective cleaning agent and great rust preventative, even when condensate formed after applying Steelgard on a cold gun.

Several years ago I used Steelgard, for the first time, on my flintlock after deer hunting on a snowy day. The gun was totally wet and fouled from being fired several times. The Steelgard spray quickly removed the black-powder residue in the barrel and on the pan and lock. I gave it a quick wipe and the next weekend when I wanted to go hunting again, there was no rust anywhere on the gun nor any slippery oil film or solvent smell. It was ready to load and use. Now I use Steelgard on my flintlocks after every use.

I use Steelgard on all my hunting firearms, trap guns and revolvers. A quick spray down the barrel followed by a brush or swab or a spray and wipe on the outside totally prevents rust. When the action on my trap gun is fouled by powder residue during heavy use, a shot of Steelgard cleans and lubricates it for continued use.
