gun bore oil

[tacfoley]

Cleaning my BP barrels until the patches come out perfectly clean, drying them out and oiling them.
The oil is applied with a wool mop saturated in oil and pumped up and down the barrel a few times, on the last pull, I spin the mop faster than the rifling so the oil is forced into the rifling from the sideways rotation of the mop.
I find that after 3-4 days, the oil seems to have thinned out to nothing and I can get drown/red dirty patches out the barrel.
So it seems that I need to dry better and maybe change my oil for something better?
Drying is done with patches until 'dry'.

I've used :-

Hoppes No9
Abby gun oil
Rig Grease
Barricade

Has anybody used other oils that keep a UK gun rust free after cleaning?

My bores shine like a mirror with a bore light, and patch smoothly, but I would like to able to re-patch them a week after cleaning and not have dirty brown patches again.

P.S,
I use a bronze brush also during a clean.

Leave the bronze brush in the cleaning kit box and stick with a bore mop. Unless you can push a metallic brush all the way through the bore, as you can in a revolver, you are not doing the bore any favours by using a PB brush on the kinds of steel usually employed for a BP handgun. Reversing a PB brush in the bore of ANY firearm is not a good idea. I have never done it, and I've been cleaning guns since 1952.

I have two of the family Sniders beside my desk as I write this note - both were made before 1867, although one has actually got DC stamps on it, and the bores of both of them are like mirrors from end to end. 3-in-1 is your friend, IMO, because that is absolutely ALL that has EVER been used in the last century, at least. Before that, it was probably some kind of mink or whale oil. Old guns like old remedies, it seems.

There must be a thousand modern 'brews' for cleaning guns, most of them containing ammonia or similar concoction for getting rid of the copper than comes of bullet jacketing. Not applicable for BP firearms of the kind that most of us have here in UK, and deadly when mixed with the products of burning BP, deadly to a barrel, that is. If they don't have ammonia in them, then they have some other space-age brew that optimises the bore for the use of a jacketed bullet, not a lump of lead wrapped in cloth, or even a lead ball, if we are talking about a revolver. Some folks, me included, like Ballistol, suitably diluted - Dustin, here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozFb6b3NhK4 - note that your significant other [if you have one] might not care for the aroma, which is, I have to say, a mite pungent.
