I then blow it down the bore with air.

Then a couple of dry patches until it is completely dry.

I then apply some rust preventative oil to a patch.

I use a product called "2 N 1" oil made by "Rock N Roll Lubrication Company".

It is a very light oil that penetrates and serves as a rust preventative.

A couple of passes with the rust preventative and the bore is finished.

I then lubricate the bolt with Birchwood Casey Synthetic Oil and replace it in the rifle.

I then do something that many may consider unnecessary.

I rest the rifle, muzzle down, on an old tee shirt, overnight for 24 hours, to allow any oils to drain out of the barrel without draining back into the action and possibly the wood of the stock.

Usually there is only a slight indication of any oil, but it doesn't cost anything to be sure.
