Where to get USGI cosmoline?

The only place I've seen it is Midway and they don't ship to Canada. You only need cosmoline for long term storage though. Any grease will do nicely.

Powerful Rust Preventer Does The Job Of Cosmoline®

When the manufacturer of Cosmoline® discontinued the product, we were shocked because we know many folks still consider it the best thing around for protecting guns from rust during long-term storage. Fortunately, we now have a substitute that works every bit as well as the original. Brownells Rust Veto is a soft, medium dark industrial-grade grease with a powerful combination of highly refined petroleum oils and waxes, plus corrosion and oxidation inhibitors, that preserves and protects stored firearms from rust and corrosion for years. The application and effectiveness of Rust Veto are the same as Cosmoline. It liquefies when heated to 140°-170° F., so you can immerse parts for complete penetration and coverage of intricate shapes and recesses. Melted Rust Veto can also be brushed or swabbed into/onto the metal to be protected.

SPECS: Available in 1 lb. (16 oz./.45kg) or 4 lb. (64 oz./1.8kg) cans.

Rig Gun Grease is an anti corrosion grease that also works very well. I have done experiments with it on degreased plain nails, half submerged in water, and can confirm it lasts a very long time.

Some gun stores carry it. I got a tin of it at Epps.
