gee0111 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hey guys I recently got a new Shadow 2 and replaced the firing pin with a CGW extended one after a week. Today after stripping the gun to look over it, I noticed rust on the firing pin and in the channel. Has anyone ever seen this before and have any recommendations on how to prevent it. I know the channel and pin are supposed to remain dry. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either in a safe that has a golden rod at night, or out in my room during the day. Really depends unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee0111 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 NVM I emailed CGW. "Just keep a very light film of good gun oil and it will be fine, put a drop or 2 in the FP channel and blow out the excess with compressed air. We always use same light oil film on the FP too. david" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoKimberDave Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Try Eezox. It is perfect for that application. It is a pretty awesome rust inhibitor too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus45acp Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I utilize WEAPON SHIELD almost exclusively as a firearm lubricant and have found it perfect for this application. I just put a small drop on my finger and work it into the firing pin, clean my fingers with a Q-Tip which i then use to lube the firing pin channel.
