Hi BRM,
Ye'd mentioned -
Now that's right interesting? I've always found black powder residue to be very corrosive. How do you leave that on your gun and experience zero problems? I think I will continue to clean my Colt.
It was something I had noticed merely incidentally, as, after shooting, I was just real busy the rest of that day, and, and then all day every day, and, kept procrastinating on the Clean-Up.
Well, days becasme weeks became months became another shooting Session with no clean from the prior one, or after that one, and, days became weeks became months and, well, even though the WALKER I have is a regular old Steel one, there has not been one hint of anything like rust or corrosion.
I imagine the Vaporized when fired blend of the Bee's Wax and Oil I use in making the thin Lube Wafers, simply coats everything very slightly, inside and out.
All the other Revolvers I have used BP in, I always did the clean up right soon of the same day...so, this 'experiment' with not cleaning the WALKER began incidentaly, and, continues, and, I will let it go on for however long, just to see how things go.
