I pull a boresnake soaked in RIG down the bore prior to long term storage. Been doing it the last 40 years with no problem. Once a year or so I refresh the coating. If I decide to shoot the rifle I make sure I swab out the bore prior to firing. I don’t know if firing a round with a little grease in the bore would hurt anything but I don’t really want to find out.
I have been using less RIG lately and more EEZOX. It is a little easier to apply and remove and seems to hold up out here in the dry desert climate just as well as the RIG with less mess (but more smell).
