Is it required to oil an aluminum frame for storage?
I own a pistol with an aluminum frame. If I were to store it away for a long time, would I need to bother wiping oil over the aluminum surfaces in addition to the steel surfaces? If it helps, there is a dark grey sort of finish on the aluminum.
Yes!!!! ……… Oil it….
No aluminum doesn’t rust in the common sense like steel does……
But aluminum does oxidize like all metals…. Being in a damp area for the long term, just touching a different type of metal or even just time will make aluminum oxidize…..
Put a light coat of oil on it….
Do a science experiment if you don’t believe me…. Cut open a beer can…. Put it outside but out of the weather also…. leave it there for several months – maybe a year — then take a look at it…. You will note it has faded and may even have an aluminum oxide powder on it from being exposed to air…..
Guns are expensive — Just keep it oiled…..
