What should i set in the metalparts, such as my barrel on my disassembled mauser to prevent rust? Some kind og oil?
 
Ballistol - what the Germans used.

I have found Sunflower oil good for long term storage too.

Just make sure the oil is pH neutral
 
Synthetic motor oil, why pay more for anything else when this works great.
 
Thanks for all tips

RIG/Rust Inhibiting Grease, unless you want to reapply many other of the options every few months. Gun oils are for short term protection and for lubrication. Grease and Cosmoline, wax based products, are for long term protection.

I use ballistol, proper storage in a bore store and dehumidified safe. Long term storage, Renaissance Wax.
