Good Day Forum,
Ijust had an old Ithaca 36 re-blued professionally and WOW what a great job they did! The old blaster was really rough; I almost through it away.
I need to know if 'Breakfree' is okay to use like you would on anything else, or should extra care be given by using a less harsh preservative or some other type of gun oil than breakfree. As well, since it is new blue, will it wipe off more easily than after several weeks of 'cure time'??? if there is such a thing.
Many Thanks to our military and especially the Veterans !!!

I would use a standard gun oil. Don't use WD40 at all, please. After cleaning, run an oiled patch through the barrel and chamber. Apply a light coating of oil to moving assemblies. Wipe down the exterior with the same oil and store. Before you shoot, run a clean, dry patch through the barrel and chamber to remove the oil. Leaving a thick coating of oil in the chamber can cause higher-than-intended pressures, although this issue is less common in shotguns than in standard cartridge rifles or handguns.
