Preserving transferable sears


allotrope

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Is there anything special you do to preserve a transferable (steel) sear, be it an HK sear, FNC sear, and etc. Aside from storing items in an indoor safe with a dehumidifying rod…

Do you routinely clean and oil your sears?

Do you apply some other sort of coating to them?

Thank you for your input.

I have a 6 month inspection cycle where I inspect, clean, lube and coat with Renaissance Wax before placing it back in a cigar humidor that I keep inside of my safe.
And I only inspect or view it in artificial light and while wearing white cotton gloves.


Joking.
Seriously, it's just a piece of metal, regardless of its current value.
Don't be one of those guys who wears surgical gloves and a respirator to clean his firearms.

I bought 10 Fleming sears from LMO back in 1990 and they look the exact same as when I bought them. So no OP I wouldn't or currently do anything to them...

You should bought more than 10 sears

I keep mine covered with a good coating of gunpowder soot and carbon. They way the original shinny luster is maintained LOL

This is how I preserve mine as well. The thicker the coating the better. I actually cleaned mine a while back. After using solvent and a toothbrush to remove about ten years worth of grime it looked good as new. Then I put it right back to work.
