What if the Czech army had gone to war, would their rifles have rusted to nothing after a few days of engagement if they had lost their cleaning kits?

I want to know if anybody knows of a method of cleaning the barrel without the aid of a bore brush or oil. Scenario is out hiking and hunting and forgot the cleaning kit.

Original barrels are chrome lined.

WWII and WWII were both fought with all major combatants using ammo that was corrosive by today's standards. Chrome lined bores were not much in evidence. Rifles and other small arms did not rust out. An interesting piece of militaria is the Lee Enfield funnel for field cleaning of the rifle; it was used to direct hot water down the barrel when troops were off line (certainly not a daily occurrence).

The maxim was "Never let the sun set on an uncleaned rifle", or words to that effect.

man sometimes this place is NUTZ, piss on my gun? that will ruin my interpretation of it and i would have to sell it, it would alway be called the pee pee gun!

Most of us like the historical stuff and occasionally would buy war stuff, war trophies and the like....chances are, all those Garands and the like were sopping wet full of piss during their lives.

It's the Ammonia in the pee that does the trick.

Do you really believe that?
